As the Patriot Broadcasting Network enters its ninth season of covering DBU Baseball, the PBN is expanding its coverage of the Patriots in 2020. In addition to following all the play-by-play action on the new home for DBU Baseball at
www.dbupatriots.com/baseball, fans can now watch the Patriots on a variety of television apps including Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, and Android TV by searching "DBU Baseball." All 30 home games will also be featured on WFAA (8.2).
Along with a video broadcast of the Patriots' home games in 2020, DBU will also be featured on the ACC Network Extra when the Patriots travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to face the University of North Carolina (February 21-23). Additionally, DBU will play at Baylor (March 11) and Oklahoma State (April 21) on Big 12 Now/ESPN+.

The broadcast team of
Reagan Ratcliff and
Brendan Smith begin their ninth season together of covering DBU Baseball on the PBN.
Mitch Mason also joins the PBN team in 2020 as the host of the Warm-Up Show.
