When I think of the St. Louis Cardinals, legends like Albert Pujols and Stan Musial come to mind. I also think of unforgettable moments like David Freese’s heroics in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. I’m sure you have your favorite players and moments as well. After all, the “Cards” have been playing baseball since 1882—so there’s a lot to choose from.
It’s hard to say where the 2025 edition of the Cardinals will stack up against previous teams, but I do know loyal fans will continue to pack Busch Stadium all season long. Whether you’re a diehard or casual fan, I’ll walk you through how to catch every game on TV.

What channels have St. Louis Cardinals games?
Fans in the Cardinals’ TV territory can watch most games on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest (FDSMW) this season. Ten regional games will also be simulcast on over-the-air (OTA) channels KMOV First Alert 4 and Matrix Midwest TV.
When it comes to national channels and platforms, the Cards will play on Apple TV+, ESPN, FOX, FS1, MLB Network, TBS, and The Roku Channel.
Want radio coverage? The Cardinals Radio Network includes 160+ affiliate stations across nine states, with Spanish-language broadcasts available in Missouri and Indiana for home games.
Best TV plans for watching the St. Louis Cardinals
I have excellent news, Cardinals fans. You have two great viewing options in 2025: a direct-to-consumer (DTC) package or a standard TV provider. I’ve included the monthly costs and strengths of both options below to help you make the best choice for your viewing needs.
Just keep in mind that neither option provides access to games on Apple TV+ and The Roku Channel.
FanDuel Sports Network ($19.99/mo.)
FanDuel Sports Network (FDSN) is the DTC viewing option for in-market Cardinals fans. With the exception of nationally televised broadcasts, a monthly subscription to FDSN will allow you to watch the Cards every time they take the field in 2025. This makes it the perfect choice for fans whose only entertainment need is Cardinals baseball.
From now until August 31, new subscribers can use promo code CARDSBOGO to buy one month and get the second month free. That’s perfect if you’re just tuning in for the tail end of the regular season.
Fubo ($14.99–$94.99/mo.)
Fubo makes it super easy to watch the Cardinals locally this season. Its base plan carries every channel you need, which means you don’t have to upgrade or purchase add-ons to enjoy the action. You’ll only want its MLB.TV add-on if you’re an out-of-market fan.
One downside of Fubo—and other TV providers that carry FanDuel Sports Network Midwest—is the regional sports fee. This fee is added to the price of the monthly plan, which Fubo isn’t very transparent about. Aside from that, there’s a lot to like about Fubo, including its unlimited recording capabilities. That’ll come in clutch during the long MLB season.
2025 St. Louis Cardinals TV schedule
The Cardinals struggled during the first month of the season before turning things around with a nine-game winning streak in early May. One of those wins came with Sonny Gray on the mound, who I’ve been very impressed with. Despite being 35 years old, he entered the All-Star break with a 9–3 record and 118 strikeouts.
With 64 games left to play, the Cardinals are just 2.5 games back of a National League Wild Card spot. So I think it’s safe to say that every game is must-see TV as the season winds down.
