The Columbus Clippers and the Rock Sports Entertainment Network (RESN) have announced a new regional broadcast partnership that will give fans across Ohio the opportunity to watch Clippers home games during the 2026 season.
Seventy-two games will be aired (69 live) from Huntington Park, home of the top minor league affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Columbus Clippers to the Rock Entertainment Sports Network family for the 2026 season,” said Mike Conley, Executive Vice-President, CIO, and President of RESN. “By distributing Clippers home games, we are furthering our commitment to providing fans across Ohio with unparalleled, free access to the professional teams they love. ”
“The Columbus Clippers are incredibly excited to partner with Rock Entertainment Sports Network as a regional broadcast partner for the 2026 season,” added Clippers President and GM Tyler Parsons. “And as the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, this will allow even more fans to see the incredible talent that is at the doorstep of the big league club.”
The “Voice of the Clippers”, Ryan Mitchell, will call Clippers games on RESN. Mitchell is entering his 17th season with the Clippers broadcast team in 2026, his 24th season in professional baseball. Joining Mitchell in the booth is Bob McElligott, known to Ohio sports fans as the long-time radio play-by-play voice of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Mitchell said, “We are elated to work with Rock Entertainment Sports Network and Gray Media to broadcast the Clippers home schedule for 2026, and hopefully this is just the beginning of bringing even more access to Clippers fans. We have a top tier broadcast, featuring what should be an excellent Triple-A team and the best ballpark in the minor leagues and I’m thrilled to bring that to our fans.”
In central Ohio, RESN can be found over the air on channel 17.1 or on Spectrum channel 985. RESN will also bring Clippers games to baseball fans in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Lima.
