The Philadelphia Phillies are usually on NBC Sports Philadelphia for most regular-season games if you’re in the local viewing area.

Quick Scoop

For the 2026 season, here’s the simple breakdown of what channel the Phillies are on, depending on the type of game you’re watching.

Main local channels

If you live in the Phillies’ home region (Philadelphia market and surrounding areas), most games are on:

  • NBC Sports Philadelphia (often listed as NBCSP or NBC Sports Philly)
  • NBC Sports Philadelphia+ (overflow channel for conflicts)
  • NBC 10 Philadelphia for select over-the-air games.

These are usually available through major cable providers (Xfinity, Fios, etc.) and live TV streaming services that carry NBC Sports Philadelphia in- market.

National TV games

Some Phillies games are moved to national channels, especially high-profile matchups, Sunday nights, or special events.

You may see them on:

  • ESPN (including former Sunday Night Baseball slots)
  • FOX and FS1
  • TBS (Tuesday night MLB)
  • MLB Network (showcase games, often with blackouts in-market)

When a game is on one of these, your on-screen guide or app will usually list it as “MLB Baseball: Phillies at …” on that network.

Streaming-only games

With the 2026 TV deals, a few Phillies games won’t be on a traditional “channel” at all.

Common streaming-only spots:

  • Peacock (has taken over many Sunday night MLB games, including several Phillies games in 2026)
  • Apple TV+ and The Roku Channel for select national games (these are app-only, not normal cable channels)
  • Netflix for special events like the Field of Dreams–style game.

In those cases, you need the corresponding app (Peacock, Apple TV, Roku, Netflix) on your TV or device and a subscription if required.

Out-of-market fans

If you’re not in the Phillies’ home TV territory and want to watch all their games:

  • MLB.TV (streaming package for out-of-market games)
  • MLB Extra Innings (through many cable/satellite providers)

These show the local Phillies broadcast feed (usually NBC Sports Philadelphia) but only if you’re outside the blackout region.

How to know the exact channel today

Because MLB games move between local, national, and streaming platforms day by day, the exact channel for tonight’s Phillies game depends on the schedule.

To see the exact channel for today’s game, check:

  • Your on-screen TV guide (search “Phillies”)
  • The official Phillies schedule page with TV info on MLB.com

TL;DR:
Most nights: NBC Sports Philadelphia (or NBC Sports Philadelphia+), with some games on NBC 10 locally and national games on ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, MLB Network, and streaming apps like Peacock or Apple TV+.
