Los Angeles, CA, August 21, 2026 —

SportsNet LA, the television home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is now accessible to former Cox Communications subscribers in Orange County and other areas previously served by Cox. This development marks the end of a multi-year period where these customers were unable to view Dodgers games due to ongoing licensing disputes.

The change comes as a direct result of Charter Communications’ acquisition of Cox Communications. Following the acquisition, Charter has enabled former Cox customers to access the SportsNet LA channel.

Previously, the absence of SportsNet LA for Cox subscribers had been a point of contention for many fans. The channel, which exclusively broadcasts Dodgers games and related content, had been involved in protracted negotiations with various providers, leading to its unavailability for a significant portion of the Southern California market for an extended period.

With this new arrangement, fans who were previously Cox Communications customers can now tune in to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers play. The specifics of the agreement between Charter Communications and SportsNet LA were not detailed, but the outcome allows for broader access to the channel’s programming.

The resolution of this long-standing issue is expected to be welcomed by Dodgers fans who had been without access to live games and other team-related content through their Cox subscription.
