The two sides have agreed to a three-year deal that will also bring MLB games to Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia for the first time.
The agreement gives Tencent rights to broadcast games four days a week and includes spring training, the All-Star game, and the playoffs. MLB also struck a deal to bring the 2021-2023 seasons to cable TV in China through Oriental Pearl New Media.
