As far as other outlets, MLB is nearing new national deals with NBC and Netflix to take over games being given up by ESPN beginning in the 2026 season, according to sources and multiple reports.

The league struck a deal with ESPN and NBC. Per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic, MLB.TV will now be part of the new ESPN Unlimited direct-to-consumer platform, and the company would have "the exclusive rights to sell all out-of-market regular-season games digitally and in-market games for five clubs over the next three years."
