Overview

• Comcast’s NBCUniversal is in advanced talks on a roughly $200 million-per-year, three-season package that would put MLB games on NBC Sunday nights and additional matchups on Peacock, according to multiple reports.
• NBC’s proposal includes carrying games on the broadcast network when it isn’t airing Sunday Night Football or NBA, with some postseason, including potential wild-card rights, also under discussion.
• The Athletic reports ESPN has a framework to gain exclusive digital rights to out-of-market regular-season games and to fold MLB.tv into its direct-to-consumer service, with some in-market and national windows also possible.
• The Wall Street Journal reports Netflix is close to a deal to stream the Home Run Derby for about $35 million annually through 2028.
• MLB, NBCUniversal and Netflix declined to comment on the talks, and no agreements have been formally announced as ESPN’s current ~$550 million-per-year deal runs through the 2025 season.
