The July 8, 2026 Reds-Phillies game will not be on the Cincinnati Reds' usual TV network. Instead, fans will need or the app to watch the game, which is set to air exclusively on those platforms.
The broadcast change is limited to that one night. The Reds vs. Phillies game on Thursday, July 9, will return to Reds.TV, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET.
What fans need to know
If you are looking for the July 8 Reds Game, the key detail is simple: it will be on and the app only. That means the game will not be available on Reds.TV, which is the Reds' standard broadcast home.
The rest of the schedule is back to normal immediately after that. The Reds' series with the Philadelphia Phillies continues on July 9 before Cincinnati moves on to a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs in Great American Ball Park from July 10-12, all on Reds.TV.
For fans, the practical takeaway is straightforward. One game on July 8 requires access, while the next night brings the broadcast back to the team's usual TV setup.
