Major League Baseball (MLB) has finalized a series of groundbreaking broadcasting agreements with leading media giants, including Netflix, ESPN, and NBCUniversal, to expand its reach and enhance viewer access over the next three seasons. Netflix, the global streaming powerhouse, will showcase marquee MLB events such as the league’s opening night and the Home Run Derby, which annually captivate millions of fans. ESPN has secured rights to MLB.TV, the league’s on-demand service, enabling fans to watch out-of-market games starting in the 2026 season. Meanwhile, NBCUniversal will reintroduce Sunday night games to its network after a 25-year hiatus. Additionally, Netflix will broadcast the World Baseball Classic in Japan, while Fox Sports retains its coverage of the World Series, and Apple TV streams Friday Night Baseball. These deals emerged after ESPN opted out of the final three seasons of its previous contract, which would have cost the network over $1.5 billion. The negotiations reflect MLB’s strategic push to diversify its broadcasting platforms and maximize its global audience.
