The Red Sox are set to play several nationally-televised, primetime games in 2026 as Major League Baseball returns to NBC/Peacock.
NBCUniversal took over ESPN’s rights to Sunday Night Baseball and the wild-card round after the 2025 season, and agreed to a short-term broadcast and streaming deal with MLB through 2028. 2026 will mark NBC’s first full-time season broadcasting MLB games since 2000.
This year won’t be the first time a NBC entity broadcast a Red Sox game in recent memory, though. Peacock aired a game between Boston and the Chicago White Sox on May 8, 2022, at 11:30 a.
