Field of Dreams game on Netflix knocks viewers down in debut
MLB’s Field of Dreams game returned after a four-year hiatus but drew 1.66 million viewers on Netflix, about half of 2022’s Cubs–Reds on FOX and far below 2021’s Yankees–White Sox on FOX. It was the least-watched Netflix-exclusive MLB event this year, with NBC’s Sunday Night Baseball averaging around 2.1 million in a separate window. Field of Dreams is slated to return next season on NBC/Peacock, with Netflix retaining rights to one ‘special event’ per year, and the broadcast skewed younger (median age 46).
