This marks a shift for ESPN, which will now broadcast exclusively during the week. Other national broadcasters include Fox Sports, Apple TV+, and TBS. The Dodgers' first game of the 2026 season will be an exclusive national broadcast, with NBC and Peacock showing the March 26 game against the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. The season will also feature Sunday Night Baseball games on NBC/Peacock in July and August. Six Saturday games will be exclusively televised by Fox, starting on April 25 against the Chicago Cubs. ESPN will cover a handful of games, including Jackie Robinson Day on April 15 against the New York Mets. Apple TV will broadcast three games as part of Friday Night Baseball, beginning on April 24 against the Chicago Cubs. TBS has announced its Tuesday night games through the end of June, including two Dodgers games in the first half of the season.",
