MLB Home Run Derby 2026 live updates: Today’s participants, predictions and odds

Among the changes to this year’s Home Run Derby is the broadcast platform. After more than 30 years on ESPN, this year’s Derby is going to be carried live by Netflix. So, what does the streaming giant have up its sleeve?

Well, the most Netflix-ish thing about tonight’s broadcast will be the player introductions, which are going to include actors from the upcoming Netflix comedy The Hawk — Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson and Jimmy Tatro.

Otherwise, the basics should look fairly familiar, but Netflix has some heavy hitters among its Derby analysts. Anthony Rizzo and Hunter Pence will be on set, CC Sabathia is going to be a sort of roving reporters, and there will be in-game analysis from two guys who know a thing or two about hitting home runs: Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols.
