St. Louis Cardinals Bring At Least 10 Games of 2025 MLB Season Over the Air With Gray Media, KMOV, Matrix Midwest

The St. Louis Cardinals and Gray Media will broadcast at least ten games over the air on KMOV (CBS) and Matrix Midwest in St. Louis as well as Gray-owned or syndicated third-party television stations in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky and Oklahoma. The team will simulcast these games with FanDuel Sports Network, the Cardinals’ television rightsholder partner.

“We are excited that, for the first time in 15 years, fans can watch our games across Cardinals Nation for free and over-the-air, bringing the Cardinals into more homes than ever before,” says Anuk Karunaratne, Cardinals Sr. Vice President of Business Operations. “This expanded reach means more families, communities, and lifelong fans can share in the excitement of Cardinals baseball and cheer on our hometown team throughout the season.”

The partnership’s first pitch will occur on Friday, April 11 when the Cardinals host the Philadelphia Phillies at Busch Stadium 7:15 C.D.T. on KMOV channel 4 and Matrix Midwest in St. Louis (channel 32 over-the-air and channel 6 on Spectrum cable).

The St. Louis and regional television stations will air the following games:

• Friday, April 25 vs. Milwaukee Brewers 7:15 C.D.T. on Matrix Midwest
• Friday, May 16 at Kansas City Royals 6:40 C.D.T. on Matrix Midwest
• Friday, May 30 at Texas Rangers 7:05 C.D.T. on KMOV Channel 4 and Matrix Midwest
• Friday, June 6 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 7:15 C.D.T. on KMOV Channel 4 and Matrix Midwest
• Friday, June 20 vs. Cincinnati Reds 6:15 C.D.T. on Matrix Midwest

The Cardinals will announce additional free, over-the-air Cardinals games at a later date.

The new partnership marks the first time a package of Cardinals baseball games will be televised locally on a free and over-the-air channel as part of a non-national broadcast since 2010.

“KMOV and Matrix Midwest are proud to serve our viewers in St. Louis and across the region, by bringing iconic Cardinals baseball back to free, over-the-air broadcasts,” says J.D. Sosnoff, General Manager of KMOV-TV and Matrix Midwest. “Along with our market-leading co-owned television stations across Cardinals Country, we are ready to bring the excitement from Busch Stadium to the fans.”

Gray’s market-leading television stations in Cape Girardeau, Springfield, Memphis, Jonesboro, Rockford, Peoria, Quincy, Evansville, Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, Ottumwa, Davenport, and Rochester/Mason City also plan to air the package.
