ESPN and Major League Baseball mutually agreed to part ways and end their decades-long partnership after the 2025 season, the league announced on Thursday, a little less than a month before the start of the season.

While Major League Baseball has worked to expand their reach through streaming agreements over recent years, their TV rights contract with ESPN is poised to come to an end after the 2025 season.

Amid a shifting landscape of regional sports networks, the sides agreed not to extend the deal before their self-imposed March 1 deadline.
