"Much ado about nothing as it turned out Mr. Shakespeare. As Benedick said, "In a false quarrel - there is no true valour." Lights - camera - action. Direct from Opening Day of Spring Training on February 21, we have Washington Nationals.TV baseball for the first time without the MASN anchor tied around its ankles. The Nationals have officially published their Spring Training radio and TV broadcast schedule."
"BREAKING: Per a source, the Nats will be joining the MLB Media package that is distributed by ESPN for the 2026 baseball season, and will look for a distribution partner in the local DC market and expanded region.- Talk Nats (@TalkNats) January 2, 2026"
"The MASN deal was basically over when the Nats confirmed our story in early January that they were moving to the MLB TV package, and no, they didn't wait for the end of February to announce it was finito! Truthfully, the last broadcast of consequence on MASN was manager Blake Butera's live presser on Nov. 18. And a source told us, contractually, that MASN was informed by the Nats that they were not renewing before their Dec. 31 deadline."
Opening Day of Spring Training on February 21 will feature Washington Nationals.TV broadcasts without MASN. The Nationals published their Spring Training radio and TV broadcast schedule, not including opponents' broadcasts; additional games will appear on the MLB app and MASN will televise the March 22 game at 1:35 pm for subscribers. It remains undecided whether a pressbox video camera will provide non-televised game feeds. A January 2 announcement stated the Nationals will join the MLB Media package distributed by ESPN for 2026 and will seek a local DC distribution partner and expanded regional carriage. MASN was contractually informed before the Dec. 31 deadline that the Nationals would not renew.
