NBC Sports on Friday announced its full 2026 schedule, which includes Sunday Night Baseball and Sunday leadoff games as part of its three-year contract with Major League Baseball that runs through 2028. The Dodgers will have four games on NBC this season.
All NBC games will also be streamed on Peacock, with some games only on Peacock. Either way, these are exclusively telecast by the NBC Sports umbrella, which means no local telecast of said games. The four Dodgers games in 2026 are on NBC.
We already
knew about the opening day game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, March 26, which was announced in November. NBC says that telecast will begin at 5 p.m. PT. The MLB.com schedule lists the game itself starting at 5:30 p.m., but game times haven’t yet been officially announced so take that with a grain of salt.
The other Dodgers games on NBC this season are all on Sunday Night Baseball:
July 5: vs. San Diego Padres
July 19: at New York Yankees
August 2: vs. Boston Red Sox
These NBC Sunday telecasts all start at 4 p.m. PT, which was the schedule ESPN used for the last three-plus decades.
That Dodgers-Padres game on July 5 is part of a day in which all 15 MLB games will be nationally televised by Peacock. The first game of the day, Mets-Braves, is the other game that day that will also be on NBC, in addition to Dodgers-Padres.
The Dodgers don’t have any games on NBC or Peacock as part of the Sunday leadoff schedule, which was also announced on Friday.
