Diamondbacks to play a number of video games on NBC/Peacock in 2026

NBCUniversal bought a Major League Baseball media rights bundle this offseason, and the Arizona Diamondbacks will play 5 video games on its platforms all through the 2026 season.

NBC Sports released its 2026 schedule on Friday, which incorporates Arizona’s Opening Day matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on March 26. That recreation will air on NBC and Peacock and is a part of an Opening Day doubleheader that begins with the Pittsburgh Pirates enjoying the New York Mets.

Arizona has 4 video games that may stream solely on Peacock, all of which will probably be performed at Chase Field:

• June 7: Washington Nationals at Diamondbacks
• June 21: Minnesota Twins at Diamondbacks
• July 5: Milwaukee Brewers at Diamondbacks
• Aug. 23: Cincinnati Reds at Diamondbacks

The Nationals and Twins have turned pages this offseason with new managers: Blake Butera (Washington) and Derek Shelton (Minnesota). The Brewers and Reds are coming off postseason appearances, with Milwaukee reaching the NLCS earlier than dropping to the Dodgers.

NBC is taking up Sunday Night Baseball this upcoming season from ESPN. On Peacock, NBC will stream MLB Sunday Leadoff video games, a Sunday whip-around present and an out-of-market recreation every day.

Nationally-shown MLB video games will probably be discovered by NBC, ESPN, FOX, Apple, Turner and Netflix this upcoming season after a collection of media rights offers got here collectively this offseason.

The Diamondbacks’ typical tv set-up is not going to change from the earlier couple seasons in 2026, as followers can watch by MLB platforms and the identical cable channels.
