How to Watch MLB from Opening Night to the World Series
The 2026 MLB season opened on March 25 with the Yankees at the Giants, streamed on Netflix, and the 162-game regular season ended on September 27. The postseason began on September 29, and the World Series starts on October 23, with a Game 7, if needed, on October 31. This was also the first season with the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system, which lets batters, pitchers and catchers ask for a review of a called pitch.
In the US, the national schedule is shared out by day of the week. FOX and FS1 have Saturday games and the World Series, NBC and Peacock took over Sunday Night Baseball, Apple TV streams two Friday night games every week, TBS games stream on HBO Max and ESPN has a package of 30 exclusive games. Netflix keeps special events such as the Home Run Derby. For out-of-market teams, MLB.TV is now sold through ESPN.
Abroad, MLB.TV is the constant, on sale in every country and free of blackouts almost everywhere outside North America. Local TV adds more in the big baseball markets. NHK shows games free in Japan, SPOTV has the season in South Korea, Sportsnet carries every Blue Jays game in Canada, and in the UK TNT Sports holds the main package while BBC iPlayer offers free coverage.
