The Gray Broadcast Sports Networks are a group of regional sports networks, distributed via terrestrial television, in the United States owned by Gray Media. The networks carry regional broadcasts of sporting events from various local professional, collegiate, and high school sports teams.
Gray Media, across these networks and its other owned television stations, also airs a limited amount of national sports programming. As of 2025, Gray airs national programming from the Professional Women's Hockey League, the American Association of Professional Baseball, the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, Fight Sports, and the Military Basketball Association.
Overview In June 2022, Gray launched the Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network on the second subchannel of KVVU-TV in Las Vegas. At launch, the network acquired the rights to air select sporting events from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In January 2023, Gray launched a second sports channel, Arizona's Family Sports, through low-power station KPHE-LD in Phoenix. This channel launched with the television rights for Phoenix Rising FC of USL Championship and Arizona Interscholastic Association athletic events. In April 2023, Gray launched The Wax on WWAX-LD in Hartford, Connecticut. WWAX launched with broadcast agreements for the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, Quinnipiac University, Sacred Heart University and Trinity College.
In early 2023, the Bally Sports Regional Networks and AT&T SportsNet, two of the largest regional sports network (RSN), were facing large economic uncertainly. In February 2023, AT&T SportsNet, announced it would leave the RSN business. In March 2023, Bally Sports announced they were filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a result, Gray expressed interest to media outlets in acquiring some of the larger professional television rights previously held by these networks.
In April 2023, Gray announced a broadcast agreement with the National Basketball Association's Phoenix Suns and Women's National Basketball Association's Phoenix Mercury. The agreement marked the first time Gray acquired the rights to exclusively air a big four professional sports team. The Suns and Mercury previously aired on Bally Sports Arizona. Games air on Arizona's Family Sports, which was expanded to the 13.5 subchannel of Gray-owned KOLD-TV in Tucson, and new stations in Yuma and Flagstaff.
Gray has continued to announce new sports networks. In October 2023, Gray launched Peachtree Sports Network in Georgia and Alabama. In July 2024, through a joint venture with Rock Entertainment Group, Gray launched Rock Entertainment Sports Network in Ohio. In August 2024, Gray launched Matrix Midwest in St. Louis and Palmetto Sports & Entertainment in South Carolina. In December 2024, Gray launched Tennessee Valley Sports & Entertainment Network. In late 2025, Gray launched North Star Sports & Entertainment Network in Minnesota, Last Frontier Sports and Entertainment Network in Alaska, Midsouth Sports and Entertainment Network in Memphis, and Great Lakes Sports & Entertainment Network in Michigan.
In September 2024, Gray announced an exclusive broadcast agreement with the New Orleans Pelicans of the National Basketball Association. The Pelicans are the second NBA team, after the Suns, to reach an exclusive agreement with Gray. Gray announced that Pelicans games would air on Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network, which launched in October 2024 across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
In February 2026, Gray expanded its agreement with the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball. Gray exclusively broadcast 15 Spring Training games across its networks in the Southern United States. During the regular season, Gray announced it would produce all locally televised Braves games on the newly launched BravesVision network through its Raycom Sports subsidiary. 25 regular season games will be simulcast on Gray's over-the-air stations.
In April 2026, Gray Media launched Rose City SportsNet in Portland in partnership with RAJ Sports. The network is focused on women's sports and airs games featuring the Portland Fire of the WNBA and the Portland Thorns of the NWSL. Both teams are owned by RAJ Sports. The next month, Gray launched Golden Spike Sports and Entertainment Network in Nebraska in partnership with the Omaha Storm Chasers of Minor League Baseball.
