Grab your glove, your peanuts and Cracker Jack — because Major League Baseball is back in action. And this year? Peacock is your home for some of the biggest games of the season, featuring plenty of World Series contenders like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and more.

How to Watch

Watch MLB on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

Peacock is now the streaming home for MLB’s Sunday Night Baseball, which will feature one of the biggest games of the week — every week — on Sunday night in primetime. Once the NBA Playoffs wrap up, several of those games will also air on NBC, as well. Along with Sunday Night Baseball, which is already underway, Peacock will also host Sunday morning games as part of MLB Sunday Leadoff. The Leadoff package will feature an early, nationally streamed game starting up around lunchtime. The first MLB Sunday Leadoff game is scheduled for May 3, against the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins.

Along with the Sunday packages, Peacock will also frequently stream a MLB “Game of the Day” throughout the week, featuring an out-of-market game. Note: Any Peacock “Game of the Day” will not be available in the competing team markets, where it will be presented by the local rightsholder.
