Bally Sports North announces 2021 Twins broadcast schedule
MINNEAPOLIS – Bally Sports North (rebranding from FOX Sports North), home of the Minnesota Twins, announced a 156-game telecast schedule Wednesday for the 2021 Major League Baseball regular season. All games not airing exclusively on a national platform will air on the all-new Bally Sports North regional network starting with Opening Day coverage April 1 at 12:30 p.m. vs. the Milwaukee Brewers.
The regional sports network will also televise the team’s Target Field home opener vs. Seattle on April 8, starting at 2 p.m. with a special one-hour edition of “Twins Live.”
More Twins coverage
Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer Dick Bremer enters his 38th season in the booth in 2021. He’ll be joined by lead analyst Justin Morneau, 1987 Twins World Series champion Roy Smalley and former Twins standout LaTroy Hawkins, who returns to the booth after spending the 2020 season assisting the team’s coaching staff. Marney Gellner and Audra Martin return as Twins sideline reporters.
The network will continue to deliver “Twins Live” pre and postgame coverage, providing fans with unmatched access to the team with interviews, extended analysis, unique features and more. Hosted by Anthony LaPanta and Annie Sabo, “Twins Live” will feature analysis from former players Tim Laudner and Glen Perkins.
