Philadelphia Phillies baseball is almost back on television (and radio) for the 2026 season. We're now over a week into camp and the Phillies are set to open exhibition Grapefruit League play against the Toronto Blue Jays on Feb. 21.
This year, every Phillies spring training home game at BayCare Ballpark will be broadcast for your viewing pleasure, either by NBC Sports Philadelphia or through MLB.com. There will also be some bonus road games airing on NBCSP thrown in the mix.
The broadcast schedule for the next five weeks of spring games is subject to change, but according to MLB.com, all 16 home games and 21 total Phillies games will be televised in some way or another.

The familiar crew of Tom McCarthy, John Kruk, Ruben Amaro Jr., Ben Davis, Taryn Hatcher, Mike Schmidt, and Cole Hamels are all expected to be part of the Phillies NBCSP television broadcast team this season. However, it's unlikely we'll see them all this spring. We do know that McCarthy and Amaro will be donning the headsets for Sunday's home opener at BayCare Ballpark.
When the Phillies hit the road this spring, those broadcasts, even if they're available on NBCSP, will be simulcast from the home team's broadcast. Of course, even for the nine road games that aren't available to watch (what year is it?), you can always tune in on the radio either through 94 WIP or MLB.com's audio broadcast.
The Phillies are preparing to begin a pivotal season after disappointing back-to-back NLDS postseason exits. The veterans are another year older but there will be an injection of youth. Justin Crawford and Andrew Painter are poised to play big roles from the outset this year, with Aidan Miller on the horizon.
With a lockout looming that could wipe out the 2027 season, this might be this group's last/best chance at finally capturing that elusive World Series. But for now we can look forward to some spring action and another fun season of Phillies baseball, with Opening Day around the corner.
