FanDuel Sports Network offers single-game payments to watch Detroit Red Wings, Pistons

Fans react to Comcast Xfinity dropping Bally Sports

The parent company said it continues to seek an agreement to restore broadcasts, but fans are angry.

(FOX2) – Fans of the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons will soon have a new way to watch their home teams compete with the launch of the new FanDuel Sports Network single-game pricing option.

Starting December 5, viewers can pay $6.99 to watch a single game without subscribing to the service, Diamond Sports Group announced this week.

The pay-per-game option comes amid concerns about fans not having access to watch local NHL and NBA games after a summer of broadcasting Detroit Tigers games disrupted by contract disputes.

Diamond Sports Group is the parent group of FanDuel Sports Network, a rebranded TV service formally called Bally Sports. The partnership with FanDuel was announced in October.

As part of the name change, Diamond Sports Group also sought to give viewers more options to watch games. Those with a Bally Sports account can still use their original login credentials when accessing the FanDuel Sports Network app.

Along with that change comes new ways to watch the games offered under the original packages, including Detroit. The full list is here.

Subscription packages are still available to watch the Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings, including a monthly payment of $19.99, a season payment of $107.99 or an annual payment of $189.99.

But for viewers who aren’t interested in spending all that money, they can now use the single-game pricing option.

“The addition of single-game pricing means fans can now watch their local NBA and NHL teams on a game-by-game basis, increasing the flexibility of our offering,” said Michael Schneider, COO of FanDuel Sports Network. “This is another example of how we remain committed to delivering a range of viewing options and features to make it easier for our viewers to watch their favorite teams.”
