The King of Sports Returns with Two Friends! MLB Returns to Televisa for 3 Years
Major League Baseball will return to Mexico's Televisa, allowing fans to watch games on three different platforms starting in the 2026 season.
Major League Baseball (MLB) is set to make a significant return to Mexican television, as confirmed by TelevisaUnivision. Beginning in the 2026 season, the MLB will be broadcasted on three different platforms of Televisa, allowing fans to enjoy 55 regular season games every weekend. The agreement, which spans three years, will also include broadcasts of the Baseball World Classic. This partnership emphasizes the historical significance of MLB's presence in Mexico, as it provides a weekly show styled after 'MLB En Vivo', which will cover various aspects of the league and its events.
The return of MLB to Televisa is a testament to the enduring relationship between the league and the Mexican audience. Dominick Balsamo, a senior vice president at MLB, remarked on this rich tradition, highlighting the importance of sharing iconic games and moments with passionate baseball fans in the country. The comprehensive coverage promises to cater to the interests of dedicated followers of the sport, offering them not only games but also in-depth analysis and insights through specialized programming.
This deal signals a broader strategy by MLB to deepen its reach into Latin America, particularly in countries with a strong baseball culture like Mexico. As the 2026 season approaches, this partnership is expected to enhance viewership and engagement, linking fans more closely with the excitement of baseball, while also promoting the sport through local broadcasts, contributing to a vibrant sporting culture in the region.
