Sunday Night Baseball is a weekly telecast of a Major League Baseball game that airs on Sunday evenings. From 1990 to 2025, the games were exclusively aired nationally on ESPN. Beginning on March 26, 2026, the games will air on NBC or NBCSN and Peacock for exclusive games or due to schedule conflicts with NBA's Sunday Night Basketball and NFL's Sunday Night Football.

During the ESPN run, games were preceded most weeks by the studio show Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown prior to the first pitch.

A few telecasts each season appeared on ESPN2 or ABC rather than ESPN due to conflicts with other programming.

In 2022, ESPN2 began airing simultaneous broadcasts of the game with different commentators and themes including Statcast Edition with a focus on analytics and technical breakdowns and Kay Cast, a more casual format featuring celebrity guests doing interviews and providing commentary during the game.

History

[edit]

Jon Miller-Joe Morgan era (1990–2010)

[edit]
ESPN Sunday Night Baseball logo (2012–2017).

The series debuted on April 15, 1990 with coverage of New York Mets against the Montreal Expos in Montreal.[2] From its inception through 2010, the series featured the broadcast team of play-by-play commentator Jon Miller and color commentator Joe Morgan. Steve Phillips joined them for the 2009 season,[3] and Orel Hershiser did so for the 2010 season following Phillips' dismissal by the network.[4][5]

From 2004 until 2006, Sam Ryan served as the field reporter, but she left to join New York City's WCBS-TV and CBS Sports in June 2006.[6][7][8] On July 2, 2006, Bonnie Bernstein joined the crew as the new field reporter,[9] but did not return in 2007 primarily due to her request to cut back her schedule because of her continued recovery from a bout with deep vein thrombosis in October 2006.[10] Beginning in 2006, Peter Gammons joined the broadcasts as a field reporter in the scouts position. Gammons, however, suffered a brain aneurysm and didn't return until September 2006.[11][12][13][14]

In 2010, Miller and Morgan began their 21st consecutive season working together for ESPN. Following the 2010 season, ESPN announced that the television contracts of Miller and Morgan would not be renewed.[15][16][17] Miller was offered, but chose to decline, a continued role with ESPN Radio.[18]

Dan Shulman era (2011–2017)

[edit]

Play-by-play announcer Dan Shulman joined color commentators Hershiser and Bobby Valentine as the new Sunday Night Baseball crew beginning in 2011.[19] In an essential trade deal, following the hiring of Valentine as the Boston Red Sox manager, his predecessor Terry Francona was hired to join Shulman and Hershiser for the 2012 season.[20] Francona stayed with ESPN for only one season before he was hired by the Cleveland Indians to be their manager for the 2013 season. Francona was replaced by John Kruk, who had been part of the Baseball Tonight team since 2004.

Like Miller and Morgan before them, Shulman and Hershiser also formed the lead team on ESPN Radio's World Series coverage. Prior to the 2014 season, Hershiser left ESPN to become an analyst for the Dodgers on SportsNet LA, and was replaced by Curt Schilling; however, Schilling's subsequent diagnosis of and treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer led to his being unavailable to ESPN for most of the season.[21] Shulman and Kruk worked as a two-man booth until Schilling joined them in September.[22]

On August 30, 2015, former softball player Jessica Mendoza joined the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team as a color commentator. For the 2016 MLB season, former Yankees player Aaron Boone joined Shulman and Mendoza in the broadcast booth as the second color commentator for SNB. Shulman stepped down at the conclusion of the 2017 season,[23] while Boone left the booth after being named new Yankees manager.[24]

Matt Vasgersian–Alex Rodriguez era (2018–2021)

[edit]

On January 23, 2018, ESPN announced that Alex Rodriguez and Matt Vasgersian would join Jessica Mendoza, Buster Olney, and the SNB team for the 2018 season as analyst and play-by-play respectively.[25] For the 2020 season abbreviated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mendoza left SNB as part of her new deal with ESPN, leaving Vasgersian and Rodriguez, who broadcast all games from a studio at ESPN's Bristol, Connecticut headquarters.[1]

ABC televised a Sunday Night Baseball matchup between the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs on August 8, 2021. The broadcast marked ABC's first broadcast of Sunday Night Baseball and the first regular season matchup it had broadcast since its involvement in the Baseball Network in 1995.[26]

Ravech, Cone and Pérez era (2022–2025)

[edit]

In 2021, ESPN and Major League Baseball agreed to a new contract that would last through the 2028 season. Beginning in 2022, ESPN would keep Sunday Night Baseball as its Game of the Week broadcast, but would no longer televise non-exclusive weeknight games unlike in previous years. It also gave ESPN the option to produce an alternate telecast on its sister networks (such as the popular alternate "StatCast" seen on ESPN2), as well as simulcasts on ESPN+ and ABC.[27]

Matt Vasgersian left ESPN after the 2021 season to focus more on his duties for MLB Network and Bally Sports West, as he is the lead announcer for the Los Angeles Angels, which in part, due to SNB, saw his role taken by Daron Sutton and Rich Waltz for most of the 2021 season. On January 7, 2022, ESPN announced that Karl Ravech would become the fourth play-by-play announcer for Sunday Night Baseball, joined by analysts David Cone and Eduardo Pérez.[28]

On May 14, 2023, ESPN was widely criticized[29] for its decision to implement a split screen between its coverage of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Playoff Western Conference semifinal series between the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers and a Sunday Night Baseball telecast between the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox, which was being played at the same time and was ultimately won by St. Louis by the score of 9–1.[30]

Jon Sciambi, the lead voice for ESPN Radio's MLB coverage, filled in for Ravech when the latter was on assignment for ESPN, most notably during the Little League World Series.

In 2024, it was reported that ESPN was expected to opt out of its contract with MLB at the end of the 2025 season. On February 20, 2025, ESPN and MLB mutually opted out of their contract.[31][32]

On September 21, 2025, ESPN broadcast its 865th and final Sunday Night Baseball game,[33] which was between the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros.

KayRod Cast

[edit]

Started in 2022, alternate telecasts of eight Sunday Night Baseball games aired on ESPN2 with Michael Kay and Alex Rodriguez calling the games. The presentation, nicknamed "KayRod Cast", was similar to the Monday Night Football "Manningcast" hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning.[28] These altcasts ended when Rodriguez signed an exclusive deal with Fox Sports, and replaced with an updated StatCast alternate broadcast.[34]

NBC era (2026–present)

[edit]

Prior to the 2025 season, ESPN and MLB mutually agreed to opt out of final three years of the Sunday Night Baseball contract, effective after the 2025 season.[35] ESPN and MLB reportedly began negotiations on a new deal.[36] In August 2025, it was reported that NBC would take the rights to air a Sunday night exclusive game for the 2026–2028 seasons, while ESPN would continue to air exclusive games during the season on different nights.[37] On November 19, 2025, MLB announced that, alongside MLB Sunday Leadoff and the Wild Card games, NBC would indeed receive Sunday Night Baseball.[38]

NBC Sports announced its inaugural Sunday Night Baseball on January 9, 2026. Sunday Night Baseball will air on NBCSN and Peacock from March 29 to May 24 (except April 12), and from September 6 to September 20. NBC will air Sunday Night Baseball from May 31 to August 16, along with April 12 and August 30. NBC will also air 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon games from August 23 to September 6.[39]

On January 22, 2026, veteran NBC Sports host Bob Costas announced that he would rejoin the network as a contributor for its MLB and NBA coverage, and serve as the studio host for Sunday Night Baseball.[40][41] Costas had initially departed NBC in 2019, after which he became lead commentator for the MLB on TBS from 2021 to 2024.[40][42][43]

On February 8, 2026, NBC Sports formally announced that Clayton Kershaw, Anthony Rizzo, and Joey Votto will work as studio game analysts throughout the regular and post seasons along with Ahmed Fareed also serving as studio pregame host.[44]

Notable games aired on Sunday Night Baseball

[edit]

2000s

[edit]

On May 28, 2000, Pedro Martínez and Roger Clemens faced off in an epic pitchers' duel at Yankee Stadium. Both pitchers threw complete games and combined for 22 strikeouts, 13 for Clemens, 9 for Martinez. The game was scoreless until Trot Nixon hit a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning. Martinez then got the final three outs in the bottom of the inning to secure the victory.[45]

ESPN broadcast the Cleveland Indians' historic comeback against the Seattle Mariners on August 5, 2001. The Indians trailed 14–2 after six innings, but scored twelve runs in the final three innings before winning in the bottom of the eleventh, 15–14. The twelve-run comeback tied the Major League record for largest deficit overcome in a game.[46]

On September 2, 2001, Mike Mussina of the New York Yankees came within one strike of a perfect game against the Boston Red Sox. The effort was broken up on a single by Carl Everett, with Mussina settling for a one-hitter. The game itself was an exciting pitchers' duel, with the Red Sox' David Cone also shutting out the Yankees for eight innings, before allowing an RBI double by Enrique Wilson in the ninth. It was the only scoring of the Yankees' 1–0 win. Additionally, Cone was the most recent pitcher to record a perfect game having done so two years earlier as a Yankee against the Montreal Expos.[47]

On June 16, 2002, Sunday Night Baseball covered a Subway Series at Shea Stadium in which Mo Vaughn hit a game winning three-run home run in the New York Mets' 3–2 win over the New York Yankees.[48]

Rafael Furcal completed an unassisted triple play for the Atlanta Braves against the St. Louis Cardinals on August 10, 2003. It was the 12th such play in baseball history. In the fifth inning, the shortstop caught pitcher Woody Williams' liner with the runners moving in a hit and run attempt, stepped on second base to retire catcher Mike Matheny and tagged Orlando Palmeiro before he could return to first.[49]

On April 22, 2007, the Red Sox became the fifth team in Major League history to hit four consecutive home runs, doing so in the third inning of a 7–6 victory over the Yankees.[50]

On April 29, 2007, a canceled broadcast occurred between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals when Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in a car accident earlier in the day while driving under the influence.[51] In place of the game, special programming hosted by Miller and Morgan was shown.

On August 5, 2007, Tom Glavine of the New York Mets became the 23rd pitcher in history to record his 300th win. He did it in an 8–3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.[52]

Sunday Night Baseball broadcast the Washington Nationals' first game at Nationals Park on March 30, 2008. The Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves, 3–2, on Ryan Zimmerman's walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth. President George W. Bush, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game, joined Jon Miller and Joe Morgan in the ESPN booth during the telecast.[53]

The final game played at Yankee Stadium on September 21, 2008, pitting the New York Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles, was broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball.[54]

Mariano Rivera's 500th career save (and also his 1st lifetime RBI) was broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball from Citi Field (home of the New York Mets).

2010s

[edit]

During the May 1, 2011, broadcast between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, ESPN announced the death of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, at the end of the 8th inning. At the top of the 9th inning with 1 out and Daniel Murphy at bat, fans at Citizens Bank Park erupted with U-S-A! chants despite the fact that no announcement of the news had been made in the stadium. Fans learned about the events through social media and mobile news apps.[55] During the on-air announcement, Dan Shulman advised viewers to tune into their ABC stations for an address from President Barack Obama on the death of bin Laden. Appropriately, the Mets game against the Chicago Cubs on September 11 was a Sunday night game to mark the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

The Chicago Cubs and the Mets at Citi Field on September 11, 2011, was broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball as part of the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001; New York was targeted by the terrorists in the attacks of that day and the Mets hosted the first major professional sports event held in New York City since the attacks on September 21.[56][57][58]

On July 3, 2016, Sunday Night Baseball aired the Fort Bragg Game, the first professional sporting event held on an active military base,[59] and the first MLB regular season game held in North Carolina.[60] The Miami Marlins defeated the Atlanta Braves, 5–2.

On May 7, 2017, during the game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees, they broke the MLB strikeout record as both teams combined made 48 strikeouts (Yankees 22 and Cubs 26). In addition, the 18-inning game was also the longest interleague game yet in MLB history and longest Sunday Night Baseball game yet broadcast. The Yankees won, 5–4.[61]

2020s

[edit]

As previously mentioned, on August 8, 2021, the Sunday Night Baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs aired exclusively on ABC. It was the first time since 1995 that a regular season Major League Baseball game aired on ABC. The White Sox won the game 9–3. This game saw a cameo appearance from former ABC baseball announcer Al Michaels, as well as a brief usage of The Baseball Network graphics.[62]

The telecasts also utilize the K Zone, a computer-generated on-screen graphic that accurately outlines the strike zone and pitch location. A Skycam is also used; it is usually mounted 20 feet above the stands in foul territory and travels back and forth along the first base line from behind home plate to the foul pole.

Over the decade, Sunday Night Baseball evolved from an experimental venture into a cornerstone of ESPN's sports lineup, with the season delivering a 60 percent increase in total viewership and a 50 percent ratings boost compared to prior non-baseball programming in those slots. Early broadcasts adhered to MLB's regional blackout policies, restricting access in the participating teams' local markets to protect regional network rights, which sometimes limited national reach but helped foster a sense of exclusivity. By the mid-1990s, the program had showcased a diverse array of matchups, gradually emphasizing marquee rivalries to sustain audience interest. The broadcast faced notable challenges, including the 1994–1995 MLB players' strike, which halted play after 112 games in 1994 and shortened the 1995 season to 144 games, necessitating scheduling adjustments and reduced inventory for . Post-strike, the program adapted by prioritizing competitive games amid fan backlash and declining overall league attendance. Additionally, the debut of FOX's Saturday Baseball game-of-the-week package in June 1996 introduced stiffer competition for weekend viewership, prompting to refine its production and selection strategies. These developments solidified Sunday Night Baseball's role as a resilient primetime fixture through the millennium.

Jon Miller-Joe Morgan era (2001–2010)

In 2001, ESPN extended the contracts of play-by-play announcer Jon Miller and color analyst Joe Morgan through 2005, solidifying their roles as the lead broadcast team for Sunday Night Baseball during a pivotal decade for the program. Miller, known for his distinctive voice and storytelling ability that brought historical context and vivid descriptions to games, complemented Morgan, a Hall of Fame second baseman inducted in 1990 whose player experience informed his deep strategic analysis. Their partnership, already established since the show's 1990 debut, emphasized a blend of narrative engagement and tactical breakdown that elevated viewer understanding of baseball's nuances. The duo's dynamic contributed to the broadcast's critical acclaim, including multiple Sports Emmy nominations and wins for outstanding live sports coverage during the era, recognizing their contributions to high-quality telecasts. Morgan's insights often focused on on-field decision-making and player matchups, drawing from his two-time MVP career with the , while Miller's flair for recounting lore added emotional depth to the action. This style not only informed audiences but also helped Sunday Night Baseball maintain its status as ESPN's flagship MLB offering, with the pair logging over 1,000 games together by decade's end. Key broadcasts in this period highlighted the era's prominence, including extensive coverage of ' record-breaking 2001 home run chase, with the Giants' game on Sunday Night Baseball capturing his 73rd homer on October 7. In 2004, the team provided previews to the dramatic ALCS between the New York Yankees and Red Sox through late-season matchups, such as the Yankees' September contests that underscored the rivalry's intensity leading into Boston's historic comeback. The 2008 season featured lead-in coverage to the at , with Sunday Night Baseball airing high-profile interleague games that built anticipation for the midsummer classic. Viewership for Sunday Night Baseball grew steadily during the decade, reflecting the duo's appeal and the program's prime-time slot. The 2001 season averaged approximately 2.5 million viewers, bolstered by the Bonds storyline, while later years saw peaks exceeding 4 million during playoff-adjacent telecasts, such as postseason previews. By , the average reached 2.177 million viewers with a 1.4 Nielsen rating, down slightly from prior peaks but still competitive for cable sports programming amid broader industry shifts.

Behind-the-scenes discussions highlighted tensions over contract terms and the network's desire for fresher voices, though both parties acknowledged the partnership's legacy in elevating the show's prestige.

Dan Shulman era (2011–2017)

The era of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball began in 2011, marking a transition from the long-running and team, with Shulman taking over as the lead play-by-play announcer alongside analysts and . This new booth aimed to uphold the high standards set by the previous duo while introducing a fresh dynamic to the broadcasts. Shulman's appointment came after he had served as the voice of ESPN's , bringing his versatile experience from radio and television to the network's premier MLB package.

Matt Vasgersian-Alex Rodriguez era (2018–2021)

The Matt Vasgersian-Alex Rodriguez era of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball commenced in 2018, following the network's announcement on January 23 that Rodriguez, who had retired as an active player after the 2016 season, would serve as a lead analyst, leveraging his 22-year MLB career for insider insights into player strategies and clubhouse dynamics. Vasgersian, previously the play-by-play voice for MLB Network, was hired as the new lead announcer, partnering with returning analyst Jessica Mendoza to form a trio focused on blending traditional commentary with contemporary analysis. Their debut broadcast on March 25 featured the St. Louis Cardinals at the New York Mets, marking a transitional shift from the prior era's more subdued tone toward a higher-energy, celebrity-driven presentation that emphasized Rodriguez's star appeal. Building on the conversational accessibility established in the Dan Shulman era, the Vasgersian-Rodriguez pairing introduced distinctive elements such as Rodriguez's on-field player interviews during breaks and rain delays, which provided unfiltered perspectives from active stars like and . Rodriguez's contributions extended to ESPN's coverage, including his enthusiastic breakdown of the 2019 , where he highlighted Pete Alonso's record-setting performance and drew viral attention for his animated predictions and post-event recaps that amassed millions of social media views.

Controversies arose periodically, including references during broadcasts to Rodriguez's 2011 high-stakes poker gambling probe, which resurfaced in media discussions about his objectivity as a Yankees alum analyzing AL East games.
