Comcast’s NBC and Peacock to Broadcast Yankees-Phillies Finale

Comcast Corporation will air the Sunday night finale between the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies as the teams conclude their series at Citizens Bank Park. The contest, scheduled for 7:20 p.m. ET, will be televised on NBC and streamed live on Peacock, the company’s streaming service.

On the field, the Yankees are aiming for a sweep after securing 1-0 and 3-1 victories in the first two matchups. The pitching matchup features Will Warren (7-4, 4.00 ERA) for New York against Philadelphia All-Star Cristopher Sanchez (12-4, 2.65 ERA).

The series finale arrives as the Yankees manage roster news regarding outfielder Cody Bellinger. The team placed the 2026 All-Star Game MVP on the injured list on Sunday due to a left hamstring strain. Bellinger reported tightness after legging out a double during Saturday’s win, adding to the lineup’s existing challenges with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton previously sidelined.

Comcast shares are currently up 1.13% for the session. As the parent company of NBCUniversal, Comcast utilizes high-profile sporting events like Sunday’s game to drive engagement across its broadcast and digital platforms.
