Netflix expands live sports offering with Major League Baseball streaming deal

Netflix is set to expand its live sports offering with a significant new partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), kicking off on Wednesday night with the Opening Night game between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. Following successful forays into NFL and WWE content, the streaming giant is aiming for another major hit with its latest venture.

This inaugural game marks the beginning of a three-event package for Netflix, which also includes the popular Home Run Derby and the unique Field of Dreams game, scheduled for 13 August, featuring the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies.
