Open letter from Jason Sinnarajah
Dear Nationals Fans,

Thank you for your support in our season-opening win over Chicago!

While we celebrated Blake Butera's first win as a Major League manager, we understand that for some fans, the experience of watching the game on television was challenging. We want to take a few minutes to address that situation and make sure we're doing right by you.

While we did our best in the past months to advise fans on preparing for changes taking place for this season's broadcasts, specific channel locations and distributor information were not available until the morning of our first game. We know that's not ideal for planning purposes, so we wanted to make sure that we get you all the right information to be able to watch the Washington Nationals.

Nationals.TV is widely distributed on cable and satellite in our home television territory, which includes Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, by major distributors such as Charter/Spectrum, Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, DIRECTV and Verizon Fios. If you are told that Nationals.TV isn't available on those platforms, it's simply not true. However, it may require a change to your cable or satellite package. The exact channel information can be found on Nationals.com/Watch. There are some important details that we would like to convey:
  • Please check your cable equipment, as you may require a new cable box to access our channel. For Comcast/Xfinity users, if there are technical issues, please reach out to Comcast/Xfinity.
  • Verizon Fios carries Nationals.TV but on a different tier than you may have accessed our games on in 2025.
  • Any specific issues you may have are best answered by your local cable or satellite operator to confirm your package includes Nationals.TV.
One of the best options to avoid missing any action is to subscribe to Nationals.TV. It's easy to use and you can find more information at Nationals.TV. Once subscribed, you can also watch Nationals.TV directly through the MLB App on your smart TV, Roku stick, Google TV, Apple TV, etc.

Our priority has always been to make Nationals games more accessible for our fans. We understand that there have been some growing pains in the first days of the season, and we want to fix that. We are excited for the season to begin and for you to be able to watch our games.

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your passion. Go Nats!
