The Rangers in mid-January entered into a multiyear agreement to stream Rangers regional games directly to consumers on the Victory+ service. That service will cost $100 to access games for the full season.

This wide-ranging streaming, satellite and IPTV licensing agreement is one of the first for the Rangers Sports Network, according to DirecTV. Fans will be able to find Texas Rangers games on channel 677 and U-verse TV channels 1752 (HD)/752 (SD).

On Monday, the Texas Rangers announced the creation of Rangers Sports Network (RSN). The company will produce and distribute all of the team's television broadcasts for the upcoming season. Distribution is the keyword as local stations will vie for a chance to snag the Rangers' local TV rights.
