Major League Baseball is the top professional baseball league in the United States and Canada, consisting of 30 independent franchises that operate within a league-wide joint venture. It coordinates the season schedule, playoffs, and championships, while individual teams handle local markets. The league earns money mainly from national and local TV rights, ticket sales, sponsorships, and merchandise, and it uses revenue sharing to keep finances balanced among teams. Its goal is to grow the sport’s fan base and maintain competitive balance by monetizing media rights, attendance, sponsorships, and merchandise.

MLB takes minority stake in Jomboy Media after four-year IP rights battle to engage younger fans

Major League Baseball has acquired a minority stake in Jomboy Media, the company founded by Jimmy "Jomboy" O'Brien, ending a four-year negotiation over intellectual property rights and content restrictions. The deal provides Jomboy Media with resources and access to MLB intellectual property whilst giving the league access to younger, digitally native audiences. Jomboy Media employs 64 people and generated over $10 million in annual revenue by 2024. O'Brien's YouTube channel has 2.20 million subscribers and 1.73 billion views, built on his distinctive breakdown videos using lip-reading and humorous commentary. The partnership includes content activations around major MLB events. The deal represents MLB's strategic shift towards creator-led content to engage Gen Z and Millennial viewers who consume sports differently from traditional broadcast audiences.

Zillow becomes MLB's official real estate marketplace provider in long-term partnership deal

Zillow Group has signed a long-term partnership with Major League Baseball, becoming MLB's official real estate and home rentals marketplace provider. The deal includes national marketing campaigns across MLB Network, MLB.TV and Apple TV+, plus sponsorship of All-Star Week, postseason events and the Pennant Chase. Zillow also launched Zillow Preview on 17 March, a product that makes pre-market home listings publicly visible on Zillow and Trulia. Chief executive Jeremy Wacksman said the company believes real estate works best when information is open and accessible, allowing buyers to see all available options without being tied to specific brokerage firms. The technology-enabled real estate platform operates through websites and mobile applications, offering marketplaces for rentals, construction and property advertising, alongside transaction management software.

MLB faces potential lockout as media rights shake-up and structural changes loom

Major League Baseball faces significant changes as its collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of this season. MLB Players Association Interim Executive Director Bruce Meyer told ESPN a lockout is "all but guaranteed", with owners expected to push for a salary cap. Nine MLB teams announced new MLB-operated channels carried by DirecTV this week, following contract terminations with struggling FanDuel Sports Networks. MLB aims to control all 30 teams' local rights by 2028 to sell them as a national streaming package. The league's national media rights expire after the 2028 season, allowing potential redistribution. Commissioner Rob Manfred has suggested expanding to 32 teams and realigning geographically. Despite upheaval, baseball is thriving. Last year's World Series attracted over 50 million viewers, the most in 34 years. However, MLB's EBITDA margin sits under 2%, significantly below other major leagues.

MLB brings robot umpires to stadiums in 2026 with teams winning 52% of challenges

Major League Baseball's Automated Ball/Strike system will debut in regular-season games in 2026, following spring training trials last year. The technology uses cameras to track pitches and determine if they crossed the strike zone, though human umpires still call every pitch. Each team receives two challenges per game, which must be made within two seconds by batters, pitchers or catchers only. Teams retain challenges if successful and receive additional challenges in extra innings. Last year's spring training saw teams win 52.2% of 1,182 challenges, averaging 13.8 seconds each. A league survey found 72% of fans rated ABS positively during spring training, with only 10% viewing it negatively. Managers expect catchers will handle most challenges due to their optimal viewing position, particularly in critical late-game situations.
