Summary

Major League Baseball ends 35-year ESPN partnership.
Games will now air on NBC Sports, Peacock, and Netflix.
New deals last until 2028, with postseason on Fox/TBS.

Baseball's national broadcast landscape has shifted significantly, ending a 35-year relationship with ESPN. Major League Baseball games will now primarily air on NBC Sports channels and stream on Peacock. Sunday night games will transition to NBC Sports, providing year-round prime-time content for the network, featuring football, basketball, and baseball.

Beyond NBC Sports, other streaming services are acquiring rights to specific MLB content. Netflix is set to broadcast the annual Home Run Derby, an opening night game, and the unique Field of Dreams game. ESPN, in turn, has secured MLB.TV for out-of-market games on its streaming app.

This new broadcast structure is set to continue until 2028, at which point MLB will renegotiate its media rights. The postseason games will still be carried by Fox and TBS, with some Friday night games finding a home on Apple TV.
