The NBC Sports Group announced Wednesday that Peacock Premium will exclusively broadcast 18 Sunday MLB games. The Phillies will be featured twice:
The games will be produced by NBC Sports and will feature pre- and postgame shows. There’s no word yet on who will be calling these games and whether or not the network will turn to national voices or rely on local broadcasters who are already employed by one of the company’s regional sports networks. Not every game features a team like the Phillies whose RSN is NBC Sports, so it’s possible that the network has a dedicated national crew for the games.

While Xfinity TV and internet customers get Peacock Premium for free, everyone else will have to shell out an additional $4.99 per month for two months to watch two Phillies games that would usually be available on NBC Sports Philadelphia or MLB.tv for out-of-market fans.
Peacock’s new streaming package will also have an effect on all Phillies Sunday afternoon home games from May 8 to Sept. 4. Those games, which are usually scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET, will now start at 1:35 p.m. to accommodate the new national timeslot.
