MLB Network Showcase is the title of a presentation of Major League Baseball on cable and satellite channel MLB Network that premiered on April 9, 2009.[3] The network produces in-house 26 non-exclusive live games a season. Since one or both teams' local TV rights holders also carry the games, the MLB Network feed is subject to local blackouts. In that event, the cities in the blacked-out markets will instead see a simulcast of another scheduled game via one team's local TV rights holder. MLB Network Showcase typically airs one game a week.
From 2012–2021, MLB Network aired two exclusive Division Series games using the MLB Network Showcase presentation. Unlike the regular-season games, these games were exclusive to MLB Network. Beginning with the 2022 MLB season, MLB Network will instead air the Spanish language broadcasts for all postseason games carried in English by TBS.
