About CLEGuardians.TV
CLEGuardians.TV is the Cleveland Guardians' in-market broadcast home for 2026, produced and distributed by Major League Baseball, continuing the team's transition away from the traditional regional sports network model. The broadcast team is anchored by play-by-play announcer Matt Underwood, one of the most tenured voices in Guardians broadcast history with the team since 2000, alongside color analyst Rick Manning — the former Guardians outfielder and fan favorite who has been calling games alongside Underwood since 1990. Together they form one of the longest-running duos in baseball broadcasting, a pairing whose chemistry and knowledge of the franchise runs as deep as any in the sport. In-game reporter Andre Knott provides sideline coverage and access throughout broadcasts, with Cayleigh Griffin and Chris Gimenez among additional contributors rounding out the crew.
What About Out-of-Market Guardians Fans?
If you live outside the Cleveland area and can't access CLEGuardians.TV locally, Fubo still has you covered. MLB.TV is available as an add-on through Fubo, letting you stream every out-of-market regular season game live and on demand. Whether you're a Guardians fan in Columbus, Pittsburgh, or anywhere else in the country, MLB.TV through Fubo puts every pitch of the Cleveland season within reach.
Note that standard MLB.TV blackout restrictions apply: if you're in the Guardians' home market, those games will be blacked out on MLB.TV (which is why CLEGuardians.TV via Fubo is the right solution for local fans).
The 2026 Guardians: AL Central Contenders
The Cleveland Guardians enter 2026 coming off a strong 2025 campaign in which they won the American League Central, continuing the franchise's run as one of baseball's most consistent overachievers. The Guardians have made a habit of winning more games than their roster payroll suggests they should — a testament to manager Stephen Vogt and a player development system that has consistently produced impactful big leaguers.
The challenge in 2026 is the same one Cleveland has faced for years: can they translate regular season success into a deep postseason run? The lineup is built around athletic, contact-oriented hitters who put the ball in play and create havoc on the bases. The pitching staff remains the team's foundation, with an emphasis on development and depth that keeps the Guardians competitive even when injuries hit. Cleveland's start to the 2026 season has been encouraging, and the AL Central race promises to be one of the most competitive divisions to follow all year long.
