The networks of FanDuel Sports Network have a long history, with the origins of several of the networks dating to the 1980s and 1990s, as affiliates of the Prime Network (and to a lesser degree SportsChannel). In 1996, News Corporation and Liberty Media (the owner of Prime Network) announced that the Prime Sports networks would be rebranded under the new "Fox Sports Net" brand;{{cite news |date=July 3, 1996 |title=FOX GIVES NEW NAME TO SPORTS ALLIANCE: FOX SPORTS NET |url=http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/1996/07/3/Sports-Media/FOX-GIVES-NEW-NAME-TO-SPORTS-ALLIANCE-FOX-SPORTS-NET.aspx?hl=Prime%20Sports&sc=1 |url-status=dead |access-date=April 9, 2015 |website=Sports Business Journal}} the Prime Sports-branded affiliates were officially relaunched as Fox Sports Net on November 1 of that year.{{cite web |last=Umstead |first=R.

On December 14, 2017, the Walt Disney Company announced their intent to acquire 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion after the spin-off of certain businesses into a new entity (initially dubbed "new Fox", but ultimately named Fox Corporation).

On May 3, Sinclair officially announced that via its subsidiary Diamond Sports Group, it had agreed to purchase the networks for $10.6 billion, pending regulatory approval. At the same time, it was also revealed that Allen Media Group would hold an equity stake in the company and serve as a "content partner".{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/sinclair-disney-regional-sports-network-deal-1203204685/|title=Sinclair Clinches Disney-Regional Sports Networks Deal, Byron Allen Joins as Partner|last=Littleton|first=Cynthia|website=Variety|language=en|access-date=2019-05-05|date=May 3, 2019}}

The sale was completed on August 22, 2019 and included 21 of the 22 networks. The networks continued to temporarily use the Fox Sports branding under a transitional license agreement with Fox Corporation; Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley stated that there were plans to eventually rebrand them under either a new name, or to "partner with a brand who wants more exposure". There were also plans to increase non-event programming, and emphasis on sports betting in its programming.{{Cite web |last=Wilen |first=Holden |date=2019-08-26 |title=Sinclair CEO see 'massive opportunity' with rebranding of Fox sports networks |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/news/2019/08/26/sinclair-ceo-see-massive-opportunity-with.html |access-date=2019-08-30 |website=Baltimore Business Journal}}

Formerly named Bally Sports+, FanDuel Sports Network's over-the-top subscription streaming platform offers livestreams and market-specific video-on-demand content from its individual regional networks. In addition to offering live game telecasts from the FanDuel Sports Network regional networks, the service also provides game replays, team-centered studio programs, outdoor programming, and selected programs syndicated to the network's national and regional feeds.

In December 2020, Sinclair announced plans to launch a direct-to-consumer streaming service based around the linear Bally Sports networks. The service was originally targeted for a 2021 launch, though it was delayed due to Bally Sports needing to negotiate over-the-top streaming rights with the teams.{{cite news |last=Moraine |first=Julie |date=December 2, 2021 |title=Sinclair Offers Direct-To-Consumer Sports Streaming Service |publisher=Gambling News |url=https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/sinclair-offers-direct-to-consumer-sports-streaming-service/}} Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley stated that the service was meant to target cord cutters, whom the company felt were underserved in the regional sports market.{{Cite web |date=June 20, 2022 |title=Sports Media: Sinclair sets soft launch date for Bally Sports+ streaming service |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2022/06/20/Insiders/Sports-media.aspx |access-date=2022-08-17 |website=sportsbusinessjournal.com |language=en}}

Bally Sports+ was soft-launched on June 23, 2022, initially available to customers residing in the service areas of Bally Sports Kansas City, Bally Sports Detroit, Bally Sports Florida, Bally Sports Wisconsin, and Bally Sports Florida/Bally Sports Sun—the five markets where Bally Sports was able to negotiate streaming rights to the local MLB team. The service launched three weeks after NESN launched NESN 360, the first DTC streaming service ever offered by an American regional sports network, on June 1.{{cite web |last=Lafayette |first=Jon |date=June 21, 2022 |title=Sinclair's Bally Sports Plus Streaming App To Launch June 23 |url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/batter-up-sinclair-bally-sports-plus-streaming-app-launch-june-23 |access-date=January 6, 2025 |publisher=Future US |periodical=Broadcast & Cable}}{{Cite web |last=Bucholtz |first=Andrew |date=2022-06-01 |title=NESN becomes first U.S. RSN to launch full OTT service |url=https://awfulannouncing.com/local-networks/nesn-360-ott-price.html |access-date=2022-06-02 |website=Awful Announcing |language=en-US}}

The service—which is sold for $19.99/month or $189.99/year—uses the same infrastructure as the Bally Sports app, and was initially available on smartphones and tablet devices. Due to regional rights restrictions, the service is only available to users in markets serviced by a network owned or affiliated with Bally Sports.

In August 2022, Bally Sports announced that Bally Sports+ would expand to the rest of its markets on September 26, 2022.{{cite web|title=Bally Sports+ streaming service to become widely available Sept. 26|url=https://www.ballysports.com/national/news/bally-sports-streaming-service-to-become-widely-available-sept-26|publisher=Bally Sports|date=August 17, 2022}}

After Bally Sports' rebranding in October 2024, Bally Sports+ has been known as simply FanDuel Sports Network, with no plus sign included anymore.{{Cite web |title=Bally Sports is now FanDuel Sports Network - FAQ's |url=https://help.fanduelsportsnetwork.com/answer/detail/000001436 |access-date=2024-11-21 |website=FanDuel Sports Network |language=en}}
