Watching the D-backs in the 2026 postseason

Arizona Diamondbacks carries the D-backs all regular season in the Arizona market, and carries none of October. Every postseason game is a national broadcast, so the channel you have used since March stops being the answer the moment the D-backs qualify. As a National League team, their path runs NBC in the Wild Card round, then FOX or FS1 for both the Division Series and the National League Championship Series, then FOX for the World Series.

RoundDatesTVStreams on
Wild Card Series September 29 – October 1 NBC Peacock
NL Division Series October 3–9 FOX or FS1 FOX One
NL Championship Series October 11–19 FOX or FS1 FOX One
World Series October 23–31 FOX FOX One

New this year: the Wild Card round moved to NBC and Peacock. NBC has not carried postseason baseball since 2000. Anything written before this season points you at the wrong channel for the D-backs’ opening round.

None of it needs a cable-replacement bundle. Peacock streams the Wild Card round, and FOX One streams both National League rounds and the World Series — and NBC and FOX are free over the air with an antenna in most markets. Postseason games are never blacked out, so a D-backs fan outside Arizona sees exactly what one inside it does.
