Fans have never had more access to live sports on TV. But it comes with costs, like navigating a maze of networks and new subscription fees.

The first weekend of the 2026 season will feature a host of star-studded matchups on national television, with many of MLB’s best players and teams set to face off. And now, there’s a new way to stay on top of where every game will air.

The season begins under the lights at Oracle Park on Wednesday, March 25. The Yankees send left-hander Max Fried against Giants righty Logan Webb.

Major League Baseball's opening games have taken different forms in recent years but this season will feature a semi-traditional standalone Opening Night game, with something of a twist – the first game of the 2026 regular season will air on Netflix.

Before a pitch has even been thrown in the 2026 MLB season, history has already been made. This year, Netflix will be hosting the first-ever "Opening Night" in baseball history between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.

Netflix will stream its first-ever Major League Baseball game on Opening Day and is looking for fans to take part. Here's how.
