ESPN's longstanding deal with Major League Baseball is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season. The two have mutually agreed to end a partnership lasting over three decades. As networks express interest in acquiring rights previously held by ESPN, NBC has emerged as a serious contender, submitted a lower-than-expected bid to take over the package of MLB games. If successful, NBC will air these games on its traditional channel and stream them via Peacock from the 2026 season onward.
NBCUniversal has made an offer to Major League Baseball to take over the package of regular-season and postseason games that ESPN is walking away from, offering much less than its rival currently pays.
If NBC wins the bidding, the aforementioned events will also be streamed on Peacock beginning with the 2026 season.
