First up, a West Coast treat: On June 14, the San Francisco Giants will welcome the Chicago Cubs to their home turf for a showdown at 3 p.m. ET. Imagine the tension as these two teams, rich in history, battle it out under the California sun. But here's where it gets interesting—this game marks a shift in broadcasting rights.
Then, a classic East Coast rivalry: Fast forward to June 28, and it's time for the highly anticipated Yankees vs. Red Sox clash. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will face off at 1 p.m. ET, giving fans a midday thrill. This game is part of ESPN's new three-year agreement with MLB, which brings these matchups to ABC's airwaves.
And the drama continues: On August 16, ABC will showcase another historic rivalry as the Cubs travel to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals at 3 p.m. ET. This game adds fuel to the fire of the long-standing Cubs-Cardinals feud. But the broadcasting landscape has changed; ABC, once a wild card round broadcaster, now steps into the regular season game, while NBC and Peacock take over the wild card and Sunday night games.
