The Los Angeles Dodgers will see significant national television coverage throughout the 2026 season, with games distributed across multiple broadcast partners. NBC Sports enters the MLB broadcasting landscape this year, taking over the “Sunday Night Baseball” programming previously held by ESPN. The network will showcase Dodgers games on NBC, NBC Sports Network, and the Peacock streaming platform, beginning with opening day on March 26 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Beyond NBC’s involvement, the Dodgers’ nationally televised schedule includes appearances on Fox Sports, which will air six Saturday games throughout the season starting April 25. ESPN continues its partnership with baseball, featuring select weekday matchups including a Jackie Robinson Day game on April 15. Apple TV+ will broadcast three Friday Night Baseball games in the first half, while TBS rounds out the broadcast slate with Tuesday night contests through late June.
The 2026 schedule represents a continuation of the Dodgers’ prominent national presence. The team had 17 exclusive nationally televised or streamed games in both 2023 and 2025, with 16 such games in 2024, demonstrating consistent demand for Los Angeles coverage. The expanded role of NBC and Apple TV reflects evolving media partnerships within Major League Baseball’s broadcasting ecosystem for the upcoming season.
