Details emerged on Thursday of plans for MLB to return to NBC for the first time in 22 years and stream on Peacock.
Beginning May 8 and continuing every Sunday through September 4, Peacock will be the home of a Sunday morning game. The first six games will begin at 11:30 a.m. ET, while the rest of the broadcast schedule will have games starting at high noon. The exclusive telecast will lead into the start of the rest of that day’s schedule of games at 1:30 ET.
The first game on May 8, featuring the White Sox at Fenway against the Red Sox, will be simulcast on NBC. The other 17 games will be exclusive to the streaming service.
“As consumption habits continue to evolve, it is important for us to provide new ways for fans who are outside the cable bundle to watch MLB games,” Noah Garden, MLB Chief Revenue Officer, said in a press release. “This agreement marks an exciting new chapter to the extensive history of innovation between MLB and NBC Sports in delivering exciting baseball action to our fans.”
