NBC will air all 15 Major League Baseball games on Sunday as part of "Star-Spangled Sunday." This is the first time a media company has had all 15 games on the schedule. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
All games will be available nationally and without blackout restrictions. They will be available on Peacock and most on NBCSN.
NBC will begin coverage with the New York Mets facing the Atlanta Braves at 12 p.m. EDT. It also has the Los Angeles Dodgers hosting the San Diego Padres at 7 p.m. EDT.
Rob Hyland, NBC Sports SVP of Production and Coordinating Producer, will oversee Sunday's coverage. Hyland produced the primetime coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, as well as Super Bowl 60 in February.
Hyland said NBC began work on coordinating Sunday's coverage in March. "Working together with local production teams and Major League Baseball, we are excited for 'Star-Spangled Sunday,' which will require constant communication and collaboration unlike any event I've worked on in nearly three decades with NBC Sports," he said.
Most games will feature announcers from both teams, a process that has worked well on "Sunday Night Baseball." The Padres-Dodgers game will feature Benetti with Orel Hershiser and Jake Peavy, along with C.C. Sabathia handling the "Inside the Pitch" analysis. It is believed to be the first time three Cy Young Award winners will work together on an MLB broadcast.
Peacock will also offer multi-view four-box presentation on Sunday.
