NBC and Peacock Will Air All 15 MLB Games in One Day for 'Star‑Spangled Sunday'

The daylong blackout‑free rollout is designed to test Peacock multiview, hybrid local‑network production, centralized distribution, its effect on discoverability and subscription growth.

Overview

  • The NBC/Peacock event, which will run on Sunday, July 5, will present all 15 scheduled Major League Baseball games as a single national program called Star‑Spangled Sunday.
  • Two marquee games — Mets at Braves and Padres at Dodgers — will air over the air on NBC while three other games will simulcast on NBCSN and the remaining matchups stream on Peacock.
  • Peacock will offer an MLB Multiview feature that lets subscribers watch up to four games at once on web and living‑room devices and toggle between them.
  • Most games will be exclusive to NBCUniversal platforms but will be shown blackout‑free and a handful of matchups will also carry local regional network simulcasts in markets such as Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
  • NBC is using a hybrid production model that pairs its national staff with local team crews and usual club announcers, and the network says the day will serve as a live test to learn how centralized distribution affects fan discoverability and Peacock subscriptions.
