NBC is set to make history by broadcasting all 15 Major League Baseball games on “Star-Spangled Sunday,” marking the first time a single media company has covered every game on the schedule. Unlike past attempts like the Baseball Network in the mid-’90s, this event will be available nationally without blackout restrictions, with games accessible on Peacock and most on NBCSN. Coverage kicks off with the New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves at noon and concludes with the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres in the evening. Rob Hyland, NBC Sports SVP of Production, has been coordinating this massive effort since March, emphasizing collaboration with local teams and MLB. The Padres-Dodgers game will feature a unique broadcast team of three Cy Young Award winners. This event showcases NBC’s commitment to innovative sports broadcasting.
