The 2026 MLB Draft begins Saturday, July 11, in Philadelphia during MLB All-Star Week. Multiple outlets report that coverage starts at 1:00 PM ET and that early rounds are carried on NBC and Peacock. The broadcast and streaming plan is described as split across different TV channels and platforms, with rounds distributed across the schedule for both Day 1 and Day 2. One article notes that Day 1 includes Rounds 1 through 4, with the first 10 picks airing on NBC and Peacock. Another emphasizes that the event has a “complicated” TV and streaming setup, requiring viewers to match each round to the correct channel or stream. CBS Sports adds that the draft is a full 20-round event and that the Chicago White Sox hold the first overall selection. Several guides also provide where to stream each round and reference the complete draft order as part of the viewing information. Overall, the coverage is presented as a round-by-round viewing guide that combines traditional broadcast channels with Peacock streaming.
