Bally Sports New Orleans was an American regional sports network owned by Diamond Sports Group (a joint-venture between Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios), and operated as an affiliate of Bally Sports before it got renamed into the FanDuel Sports Network on October 21, 2024. Before the channel shut down in relation to Bally Sports' rebranding, the channel broadcast local coverage of professional and collegiate sports events within New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.
Bally Sports New Orleans was available on cable providers throughout Louisiana, East Texas, South Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and most parts of southern Mississippi (including Cox Communications, AT&T U-verse, Charter Spectrum, Suddenlink Communications and Comcast), with an estimated regional reach of 2.5 million households with a paid television subscription; it was also available on satellite via DirecTV until services for the New Orleans channel shut down in 2024.[1][2]
The network wound down quietly on October 21, 2024 as the network's professional sports rights had been fully exhausted and moved to other venues. The Pelicans moved to Gray Television's new Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network, available over-the-air and streaming, with WVUE-DT as its flagship, while the Dallas Stars already left the network for the Victory+ streaming service and the Texas Rangers will not have their rights renewed due to an opt-out with Diamond's bankruptcy.
