Major League Baseball has inked three-year media rights agreements with Netflix, NBCUniversal, and ESPN, marking a strategic shift toward streaming platforms. The deals, valued at a combined $800 million annually from 2026 to 2028, highlight the growing competition for live sports content as a subscriber acquisition tool.

Netflix gains exclusive rights to broadcast the season opener and Home Run Derby, along with all 47 games of the 2026 World Baseball Classic in Japan—a $50 million investment. ESPN will distribute MLB.TV, expanding its sports streaming portfolio. These agreements position MLB to renegotiate broadcast rights more aggressively post-2028 when current Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery contracts expire.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
