ESPN returns to provide the 30th season of MLB coverage

Network to televise Sunday Night, Monday Night & Wednesday Night Baseball alongside other marquee events

"Sunday Night Baseball", which enters its 30th season, will have a new start time for most games: 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT

ESPN's coverage will start on Wednesday, March 6th at 1:00 PM ET with Pirates-Red Sox spring training game from Fort Myers, Florida

ESPN, the network that has televised Major League Baseball since the 1990 season, will once again cover MLB games for the 2019 season. The network will televise spring training, regular season and postseason games. This will mark their 30th season of providing picture and sound to baseball's yearly journey through the seasons.

The network will begin its coverage for this season with a pair of Spring Training games in early March. The first one will be the Pittsburgh Pirates at Boston Red Sox telecast from Fort Myers, Florida on Wednesday, March 6th at 1:00 PM. The second one will be the Minnesota Twins at Boston Red Sox telecast (again from Fort Myers) on Thursday, March 7th at 1:00 PM.

Then, the network's attention turns toward the regular season. The network will air two games from the Tokyo Dome in Japan to open up regular season play. On Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st at 5:30 AM on both days, the Seattle Mariners will play the Oakland Athletics. Later on, ESPN will cover the "official" opening day for the remainder 28 MLB clubs on Thursday, March 28th: Orioles at Yankees (1 p.m., ET); Diamondbacks at Dodgers (4 p.m., ET) and the exclusive telecast of Red Sox at Mariners (7 p.m., ET).

You will notice that the "Sunday Night Baseball" telecasts will have a new earlier start time of 7 p.m for most games. So, check that out!

Throughout the season, the network will also be home to the Home Run Derby from Cleveland on Monday, July 8th in addition to the Legends & Softball Celebrity Game that will air afterward. Once the regular season is finished in September, the network will televise an American League Wild Card Game on the night of Tuesday, October 1st.
