NBC Will Stream All 15 MLB Games on Peacock for July 5 Star‑Spangled Sunday

The network is using a coordinated mix of two NBC-produced national games, local feeds and a four-game multiview to try to extend Sunday Night Baseball’s recent ratings gains and boost Peacock subscriptions.

Overview

  • Peacock will serve as the central hub on Sunday, July 5, carrying every game on the MLB schedule and offering a curated four-game tile that lets subscribers watch up to four games at once and switch audio.
  • NBC will directly produce two marquee national telecasts — Mets vs. Braves and Padres vs. Dodgers — while most other games will use local broadcast crews with NBC’s theme music and a unified upper-left score bug on 14 of the 15 feeds.
  • There will be no single home-base studio show for the day and three locally produced games will be simulcast in their home markets on Peacock, with NESN’s Red Sox-Angels feed keeping its own graphics package.
  • The event is the largest production so far under NBC’s three-year MLB rights deal and follows strong early-season viewing, including a June 21 Sunday Night Baseball telecast that drew about 3 million viewers.
  • NBC frames the slate as a patriotic 'Star‑Spangled Sunday' for America’s 250th weekend and is using the single-day aggregation to test whether a centralized streaming offer and hybrid production model can build sustained audience and subscription growth.
