MLB postseason games are national broadcasts, not regional ones — the Detroit Tigers’ regular-season regional sports network carries none of them. The round decides the channel, and as an American League team the Detroit Tigers run through NBC in the Wild Card round (new for 2026), then TBS for the Division Series and the American League Championship Series, then FOX for the World Series. Without cable: Peacock streams the Wild Card round, HBO Max streams both American League rounds, and FOX One streams the World Series. NBC and FOX are also free over the air with an antenna in most markets. Blackouts do not apply to postseason games.
