ESPN could be rewarded with additional playoff games under its new deal with Major League Baseball.
Walt Disney Company and MLB announced a seven-year extension of their rights agreement Thursday.
ESPN has aired games since 1990 and the new deal means that will continue until at least 2028.
ESPN will exclusively air 30 regular-season games, with 25 taking place on Sunday nights. The other five will include a broadcast on opening day. ESPN also retains the rights to the Home Run Derby, which takes place the night before the All-Star Game.
