What better way to honor America’s 250th birthday weekend than by diving deep into the national pastime? In a historic move, NBC and Peacock are bringing fans a sports spectacle like never before: “Star-Spangled Sunday.”
For the first time ever, NBC Sports will broadcast all 15 scheduled MLB games live and nationally. Whether you are a die-hard fan of your local team or a baseball enthusiast looking for the best matchups of the day, this event is designed to put the game at your fingertips across NBC, Peacock, and NBCSN.
Everything You Need to Know About Star-Spangled Sunday
The action kicks off at noon ET with the “MLB Sunday Leadoff” pregame show, airing on NBC and streaming live via Peacock. This comprehensive coverage ensures you don’t miss a single pitch of the holiday weekend festivities.
Where to Watch: The Broadcast Guide
Depending on your subscription and preferences, here is how you can access the games:

A Fan-First Experience: No Blackouts and Familiar Voices
One of the biggest wins for fans this Sunday is the complete absence of blackouts. No matter where you are located in the US, you can tune in to any game without regional restrictions.
To make the experience feel like home, NBC has collaborated with regional sports networks to bring back the usual announcers.
