Major League Baseball is close to completing a reshuffle of its U.S. media rights that would run through the 2028 season, according to a report first published by Kendall Baker of Yahoo Sports. The package would see Apple abandon its "Friday Night Baseball" agreement four years early, relinquishing all MLB coverage on Apple TV+. NBC and its streaming service Peacock are expected to pick up the vacated Friday night inventory as well as add exclusive Sunday games and the Wild Card round, giving the network year-round Sunday night sports alongside existing NFL and NBA packages. Disney-owned ESPN remains in the sport by purchasing MLB.tv, the league’s out-of-market streaming service, and is exploring additional local rights deals with clubs currently distributed by MLB’s in-house platform. Netflix, meanwhile, is set to acquire rights to the annual Home Run Derby, continuing the platform’s push into live sports.
