ESPN Summer Schedule To Replace "Sunday Night Baseball" With "Women's Sports Sundays"

ESPN Summer Schedule To Replace "Sunday Night Baseball" With "Women's Sports Sundays"

No!

Spring training hasn't even sprung and ESPN is telling us they're getting rid of Sunday Night Baseball this summer?

And replacing it with women's sports???

It'll only last for nine weeks, so I guess that's okay since I'm assuming we'll get Sunday Night Baseball back once we're done holding our noses through women's sports.

Maybe this is just a bold marketing strategy for Major League Baseball. Either buy our subscription or you'll be forced Clockwork Orange-style to watch women's sports on ESPN.

I'll quote that article from above.

ESPN plans to replace a 35-year-old Sunday-programming mainstay with what executives believe could become a new franchise — devoted to sports that haven't always gotten their due.

The Disney sports-media giant will use Sunday primetime in the summer to launch 'Women's Sports Sundays,' a hub for top match-ups from the WNBA and NWSL. The program represents one of the biggest investments in women's sports programming by a major sports-media provider, and follows a surge of interest in both leagues.

Imagine doubling down on women's sports in 2026.

They're really taking this from us 👇
