On January 5, 1989,Major League Baseball signed a$400 million deal withESPN, who would show over 175 games beginning in1990. For the next four years, ESPN would televise six games a week (Sunday Night Baseball,Wednesday Night Baseball anddoubleheaders on Tuesdays and Fridays), as well as multiple games onOpening Day,Memorial Day,Independence Day, andLabor Day.
Since the end of that contract ESPN has not officially aired a full slate of Tuesday night games but has consistently aired several games per year since 1997. With Turner Sports gaining the exclusive rights to MLB games on Tuesday nights, Tuesday night ESPN games were discontinued.
In1997,FX obtained the partial pay-television rights to MLB games; while most game telecasts aired on Monday nights or Saturday nights, 11 games in 1997 and 1 game in 1998 aired on Tuesdays.
FS1 occasionally aired baseball on Tuesday nights between 2014 and 2021 as part of their irregularly scheduled non-exclusive broadcast package. With the TBS television package having moved to Tuesday nights in 2021, FS1's schedule no longer includes Tuesday night games.
Prior to 2022, during the regular season, TBS broadcast a weekly game nationally on Sunday afternoons, under the titleSunday MLB on TBS. These games were not exclusive to TBS and wereblacked out in local markets, to protect the stations that hold the local broadcast rights to the games. In the affected areas, simulcasts of programming from sister networkHLN aired in place of the games.[1]
On September 24, 2020, it was announced thatTurner Sports had renewed its baseball rights through 2028 (aligned with the conclusion of Fox's most recent extension). However instead of a package of Sunday afternoon games the contract includes primetime games on Tuesday nights throughout the regular season (The Sunday afternoon games was instead sold as a separate package now known asMLB Sunday Leadoff).[2][3][4]
The program includes a 30-minute studio show before and after each game.[5]
During the final month of the2024 Major League Baseball season, TBS' sister networkTruTV airedMLB Race to the Pennant on Tuesday nights. The show will featured a whip-around format hosted byAlanna Rizzo andYonder Alonso. TNT Sports also added additional games in order to airMLB Tuesday doubleheaders the final three weeks of the season. One of the doubleheaders featured one game instead on TruTV, marking the first time the network has exclusively aired a regular season MLB game in full.[6]
TruTV began simulcasting selectMLB Tuesday games with TBS beginning with the2025 season.[7]
