What channel is the Detroit Tigers game on?

TV channels for Tigers vs Guardians

  • Detroit SportsNet (DSN) – available on cable, satellite, and streaming via Fubo.
  • CleGuardians.TV – available on cable and satellite in the Guardians’ territory.

For Detroit-area fans, the game airs on Detroit SportsNet (DSN), the regional sports network that carries most Tigers games. Cleveland viewers can tune in on CleGuardians.TV, which replaced the former Bally Sports Great Lakes. Both channels are standard on major cable and satellite packages in their respective regions (USA Today).

Bottom line: The game is not on national TV. You need the local RSN – DSN in Detroit, CleGuardians.TV in Cleveland.

The implication: Out-of-market fans without a cable login will need a streaming service that carries the appropriate RSN.

How can I watch the Tigers game tonight?

Streaming options on Fubo and MLB.TV

  • Fubo: offers a free trial and carries both DSN and CleGuardians.TV in applicable markets (The Athletic).
  • MLB.TV: requires a subscription but streams all out-of-market games (ESPN).
  • Watch on mobile via the MLB app or Fubo app.
The upshot

Streaming is your best bet if you don’t have cable – but beware blackout restrictions. In-market viewers can use Fubo with their local RSN; out-of-market fans can rely on MLB.TV.

Step-by-step guide to watch the game

  1. Choose a platform – cable, Fubo, or MLB.TV.
  2. If using Fubo, start a free trial at fubo.tv. Search for “Tigers” or “Guardians” once the game is live.
  3. If using MLB.TV, log in, navigate to the Tigers vs Guardians game, and press play.
  4. On mobile, download the MLB app (iOS/Android) and sign in with your MLB.TV or Fubo credentials.

What this means: The easiest path for most fans is Fubo’s free trial – but remember to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t plan to keep it.

What time is the Guardians vs Tigers game?

Game start time and venue

  • Date: June 13, 2026 (MLB Gameday)
  • Time: 4:10 PM ET (The Athletic)
  • Venue: Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH (The Athletic)

The game is a weekday afternoon start, so plan accordingly if you’re watching from work or on the go. Gates at Progressive Field open about 90 minutes before first pitch.

Why this matters: An early start time means the game should wrap up before evening, perfect for catching the highlights later.

Who is favored to win Guardians vs Tigers?

Current odds and predictions

  • According to Sports Illustrated, the Guardians are the betting favorite.
