America's Major League Baseball (MLB) has signed a slew of deals with broadcast and streaming giants to show select games for the next three seasons.
Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, will air special baseball events that draw millions of viewers each year. These include the league's opening night exclusive and its Home Run Derby, where players compete to hit the most home runs.
Media companies ESPN and NBCUniversal also have acquired rights to other MLB-related programmes.
The three-year agreements will help the league expand its reach, said Baseball Commissioner Robert D Manfred Jr.
Starting with the 2026 season, the new deal will grant ESPN the rights to MLB.TV, its on-demand service that lets viewers watch teams outside their local region, said MLB on Wednesday.
