MLB on Wednesday announced a new three-year television deal with ESPN, NBC Universal and Netflix that runs through 2028.
In one of the more significant changes, Sunday Night Baseball now will be carried by NBC instead of ESPN. NBC also will have the rights to the entire wild-card round of the playoffs.
ESPN had been scheduled to pay an estimated $1.65 billion over the next three seasons, according to The Athletic, before it opted out of that deal in February, and the restructured media rights deal was announced.
