The Cincinnati Reds game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, July 8, will air exclusively on and the app, moving the matchup away from the team's usual TV network for one night. Fans looking for the game will need to go to TV or stream it through the app.
That switch is why the Phillies Vs Cincinnati Reds search is spiking now: the viewing setup changes between back-to-back games. The Thursday, July 9 game will air on Reds.TV, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET, giving viewers a familiar option after Wednesday's national telecast.
For fans in the Reds' regional TV territory, the games can be watched through cable and satellite providers or streamed digitally on Reds.TV through the MLB app. Fans outside that regional area can still watch by subscribing to MLB.TV.
The contrast matters because the July 8 game will not be available through the team's standard broadcast partner, even though the next game in the series will be. The Reds will wrap up their series against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 9 before turning to the Reds vs. Cubs series at Great American Ball Park from July 10-12.
For viewers, the rule is simple: July 8 belongs to, July 9 returns to Reds.TV, and the series then moves on. What changes is not the matchup, but where fans have to look for it.
