Watching the Yankees in the 2026 postseason
YES Network carries the Yankees all regular season in the New York tri-state 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 Yankees qualify. As an American League team, their path runs NBC in the Wild Card round, then TBS for both the Division Series and the American League Championship Series, then FOX for the World Series.
| Round | Dates | TV | Streams on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Card Series | September 29 – October 1 | NBC | Peacock |
| AL Division Series | October 3–10 | TBS | HBO Max |
| AL Championship Series | October 12–20 | TBS | HBO Max |
| 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 the 2000 American League Championship Series — a series the Yankees played in, beating Seattle. Anything written before this season points you at the wrong channel for the Yankees’ opening round.
None of it needs a cable-replacement bundle. Peacock streams the Wild Card round, HBO Max streams both American League rounds, and FOX One streams 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 Yankees fan outside New York tri-state sees exactly what one inside it does.
