"Kershaw said he'll miss baseball, but he has also been looking forward to spending more time with his family, and it was presumed he wouldn't be around the game for a bit. During his retirement press conference, the 37-year-old said he would have plenty of things to keep him occupied outside of baseball while referencing his five children. While coaching or a front office role might not be on the horizon for Kershaw, he could perhaps be interested in starting a broadcast career,"
"NBC and Peacock previously agreed to a new MLB media rights contract for 2026, which gives the broadcast company the rights to "Sunday Night Baseball," as well as the Wild Card Series. Now, NBC is looking to add Kershaw to their studio analyst group, and has him as one of their top targets, via Andrew Marchand of The Athletic: Future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw is a top studio target for NBC/Peacock's forthcoming Major League Baseball package, sources briefed on the talks told The Athletic."
Clayton Kershaw retired after 18 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers and will wait five years to become Hall of Fame eligible, likely as a unanimous first-ballot selection. He plans to spend more time with his family and referenced his five children while noting he will miss baseball. Coaching or front office roles appear unlikely, but Kershaw may pursue a broadcast career with a smaller time commitment. NBCUniversal secured MLB rights for 2026 including Sunday Night Baseball and the Wild Card Series across NBC, Peacock and NBCSN. NBC is targeting Kershaw as a studio analyst for select events rather than full-time Sunday broadcasts.
