Major League Baseball signs deals with Netflix, ESPN and NBCUniversal
The three-year agreements will help the league expand its reach, said Baseball Commissioner Robert D Manfred Jr.
Media companies ESPN and NBCUniversal also have acquired rights to other MLB-related programmes.
Netflix, the world's largest streaming service, will air special baseball events that draw millions of viewers each year. These include the league's opening night exclusive and its Home Run Derby, where players compete to hit the most home runs.
America's Major League Baseball (MLB) has signed a slew of deals with broadcast and streaming giants to show select games for the next three seasons.
