BRISTOL, Conn. — ESPN’s first Major League Baseball game next season will be on April 15 when the two-time reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers host the New York Mets on MLB Jackie Robinson Day.

The network also announced on Monday it will air a matchup between the New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals on Memorial Day (May 25).

ESPN will air 30 games this season under a reworked three-year deal that begins next season. ESPN becomes the rights holder for MLB.TV, the out-of-market streaming package, and gets the in-market streaming rights for the six teams whose games are produced by MLB: San Diego, Colorado, Arizona, Cleveland, Minnesota and Seattle.

“Sunday Night Baseball” and the Wild Card round games will air on NBC and Peacock and the Home Run Derby moves to Netflix.
