MLB viewership is about to look very different.
After months of speculation, MLB reached three-year TV/media rights deals with ESPN , NBC and Netflix that will change the way audiences consume America’s pastime.
Starting next season, “Sunday Night Baseball” will air on NBC instead of ESPN, which had carried the prime-time broadcast since 1990.
That’s part of a larger commitment for NBCUniversal, which is also set to air the Wild Card Series and the “Sunday Leadoff” package of day games on NBC and Peacock.
It will be the first time in more than two decades that NBC airs MLB games on a regular basis.
Netflix landed a rights package that includes the Home Run Derby, the 2026 Field of Dreams Game, the World Baseball Classic in Japan, and an Opening Night exclusive.
