Friday May 14, 2021

The Walt Disney Company, ESPN and Major League Baseball struck a long-term, wide-ranging rights extension with the seven-year agreement starting in 2022 and running through the 2028 season. The agreement sees ESPN exclusively televise 30 regular-season games annually, including 25 editions of Sunday Night Baseball, the national MLB game of the week, and the MLB Little League Classic. ESPN will exclusively televise five additional games each season, including the national Opening Night telecast. ESPN will also continue to exclusively carry the Home Run Derby as part of its cross-platform MLB All-Star coverage.

For each of its live events, ESPN will receive the rights to produce alternate presentations across its platforms, as well as the opportunity to simulcast all ESPN and ABC game telecasts on ESPN+. ESPN will exclusively televise the entire MLB Wild Card Series starting in 2022, if the event expands. In addition to the new live event simulcast rights, ESPN has gained the rights to create new MLB content for ESPN+, including studio and highlight-driven programming and ESPN also kept its extensive audio and Spanish-language telecast rights per this new deal.

This agreement will increase ESPN’s wide-ranging collection of highlight rights for all of its news and information platforms and digital MLB shows such as BBTN Live. Baseball Tonight will continue to serve as ESPN’s premier pre-event show for its season-long package of high-profile live events.
