NBC Partners with MLB to Broadcast All Games in Celebration of U.S. Semiquincentennial

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, every Major League Baseball (MLB) game will be broadcast nationwide through a single television network for the first time.
NBCUniversal, an American media company, has partnered with the MLB office to broadcast all 15 games scheduled for Sunday, July 5 (local time), across its subsidiaries: NBC, the streaming service Peacock, and the NBC Sports Network.
NBC will broadcast the games between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves, and the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers, while the remaining games will be aired via platforms such as Peacock.
To mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, the MLB office and NBC Sports jointly developed a brand called "Star-Spangled Sunday." The special programming aims to continue the atmosphere of Independence Day (July 4, local time) by broadcasting all MLB games nationwide throughout the day.
This marks the first time that all games will be broadcast through a single network in an era where regional broadcasters hold exclusive rights to local teams, and online streaming services (OTT) have recently entered the market, allowing baseball to be viewed across various platforms.
The full slate of MLB games on July 5 (local time) will be available to fans for nearly 12 hours, starting at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, to accommodate the Eastern, Central, and Western time zones in the U.S.
