Sunday Night Baseball is an American weekly telecast of Major League Baseball (MLB) games on Sunday evenings. As of 2026, the games are broadcast on NBC and Peacock (with some games airing on Peacock and NBCSN due to schedule conflicts with Sunday Night Basketball and Sunday Night Football).
From 1990 to 2025, the games were exclusively aired nationally on ESPN. 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.
