What the sources agree on — and where they differ
Multiple schedules in the packet list the same core events: an MLB telecast featuring Detroit and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati tennis coverage on Tennis Channel, the WNBA game between Dallas and Golden State on NBCSN/Peacock, and ESPNU carrying American Legion World Series semifinals.
There is a discrepancy in the cited start time for the Detroit at Pittsburgh MLB game. One source lists it at 6 p.m. (Yahoo Sports, which uses a 6 p.m. MLB start), while another lists 7 p.m. (AP News schedule). I have presented both times and recommend checking your local listings for the definitive start time. (Sources: AP News, Yahoo Sports, WTOP)
How to use this schedule
For viewers in the United States:
- Confirm the local start time with your pay-TV or streaming provider: national network listings can be moved by regional broadcasters or local rights holders.
- Be aware of blackouts for regional MLB games; if a game is carried on a team’s regional network or streaming service (for example, Royals.TV), access may require the team’s streaming package or local carriage.
- For Tennis Channel coverage of the Cincinnati ATP/WTA event, the channel typically begins mid- to late-morning coverage for third-round singles and early doubles rounds; check the Tennis Channel schedule for live court assignments.

Practical notes
- If you plan to stream a game on Peacock or a team’s streaming service, ensure your subscription is active before the scheduled start to avoid delays.
- For listeners, the Yahoo Sports local schedule itemizes radio coverage for some regional games (for example, KFNZ for Royals broadcasts); check local radio listings if you prefer audio. (Source: Yahoo Sports)
