Overview
- The 2026 T-Mobile Home Run Derby will take place at Citizens Bank Park and begin Monday at 8 p.m. ET with live streaming available only on Netflix.
- MLB replaced the clocked format with a swing-based structure that gives each hitter 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 swings in the semifinals and final, and a homer on a hitter's final allotted swing allows them to continue until they fail to homer.
- Eight players are entered in the field, including hometown Phillies Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, and betting markets list Schwarber as the pre-event favorite.
- Netflix's production team will feature Matt Vasgersian on play-by-play with analysis from Barry Bonds, CC Sabathia, Hunter Pence and Anthony Rizzo for the exclusive stream.
- The Derby is the first to move exclusively to Netflix under MLB's new multi-year media arrangement and returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 1996, a change that shifts how many fans will access marquee All-Star Week events and could alter TV viewing patterns for future seasons.
