Peacock to Show 18 MLB Sunday Games Exclusively
The NBC-owned Peacock streaming service will offer 18 Major League Baseball games this season on Sunday mornings, starting with the May 8 matchup between the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox at 11:30 a.m. ET, MLB and NBC Sports announced yesterday.
The White Sox-Red Sox game from Fenway Park will be simulcast on NBC, which will mark the first MLB telecast on the network in more than two decades. The next 17 games will be exclusive to Peacock, meaning they won’t be available on any other service or channel, including NBC, MLB TV, MLB Extra Innings, or the teams’ regional sports channels.
The announcement follows similar exclusive deals between MLB and Apple and Amazon.

So now, if, hypothetically, you wanted to watch all of your team’s broadcasts, you have to subscribe to MLB.TV, Apple+, Peacock, Amazon Prime, Youtube, as well as a tv provider that carries ESPN. You know what, MLB, go fk yerselves. Greedy bay-stids.
Who in the world has the time to watch all 162 games live from your favorite MLB team. No one does. Select games from some teams will be on Apple TV+, Peacock, & ESPN Sunday Night. The Amazon Prime games only apply for some Yankee games. The YouTube games are free. Most games will be on the team’s local Regional Sports Network. All blacked out games are available on MLB TV 90 minutes after the games end. Radio may be the best way to follow your favorite local team. Also the live radio broadcasts on MLB Audio are blackout free.
Do you know the meaning of hypothetical or do I have to beat it into you?
