How to watch Miami Marlins games on Bally Sports during Comcast Xfinity outage
Miami Marlins fans are suddenly caught in the middle of another Cable TV feud that promises to keep their team off the air for a while.
Comcast, the dominant cable provider in South Florida, has said it will block Bally Sports networks nationally from its subscribers' homes after months of negotiations between Comcast and Diamond Sports Group - which owns Bally Sports Sun and Bally Sports Florida - failed to produce a new carriage agreement.
Comcast subscribers won’t be able to watch Marlins games on Bally Sports Florida until the two sides reach an agreement.
Here is a statement from Comcast: “We have been very flexible with Diamond Sports Group for months as they work through their bankruptcy proceedings, providing them with an extension on the Bally Sports Regional Networks last fall and a unilateral right to extend the term for another year, which they opted to not exercise. We’d like to continue carrying their networks, but they have declined multiple offers and now we no longer have the rights to this programming. We will proactively credit our customers for the costs associated with them – most will automatically receive $8 to 10 per month in credits.”

Bally Sports bankruptcy update
Major League Baseball and the bankrupt Bally Sports Regional Networks are close to an agreement that would see the media company continue to televise most if not all the 11 teams currently under contract - including the Marlins - for the 2024 season before ending the deals in October.
