Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (7), third baseman Maikel Garcia (11), first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (9) and catcher Salvador Perez (13) celebrate an 8-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, April 4, 2025, at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals are making their way east following spring training in Surprise, Arizona.
Ahead of their 2026 season opener in Atlanta, the Royals will play exhibition games against the Rangers on Monday and Tuesday in Arlington, Texas. Then they will start a three-game series against the Braves on Friday.
The Royals are expected to announce this week how fans can watch regular-season games on cable or satellite. Games are moving from FanDuel Sports Kansas City to Royals.TV. Although the linear way to watch games has yet to be revealed, fans can stream Royals.TV (the cost is $99.99 for the season).
Here is how to watch and listen to Royals games this week. Monday’s game is on the MLB Network, which normally would be blacked out in Kansas City, but it’ll be available since Royals.TV is not ready.
Monday: at Rangers, 7:05 p.m. (MLB Network and 96.5 The Fan)
Tuesday: at Rangers, 1:05 p.m. (No TV; KWOD 1660 AM)
Friday: at Braves, 6:15 p.m. (Royals.TV and 96.5 The Fan)
Saturday: at Braves, 6:15 p.m. (Fox 4 and 96.5 The Fan)
