CHICAGO \u2014<\/p>\nLate-August Reds game against Cubs flexed to Sunday Nigh Baseball, to be aired on WLWT<\/p>\n
CHICAGO \u2014<\/p>\n
The Cincinnati Reds are ready for primetime.<\/p>\n
Having won seven of their first 11 games after the All-Star break, NBC Sports has announced the Reds’ Aug. 30 game against the Chicago Cubs has been moved to Sunday Night Baseball.<\/p>\n
The game will be broadcast on WLWT and Peacock.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati and Chicago were already slated to play on WLWT that day, but at 3 p.m. instead. In a corresponding move, NBC has swapped the originally announced Sunday night game, between the Houston Astros and the New York Mets, into the late-afternoon slot.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday, this is the only Sunday Night Baseball game scheduled for the Reds in 2026.<\/p>\n
Despite sitting 16.5 out of the division lead, the Reds are still alive in the National League’s playoff race, trailing the Arizona Diamondbacks, the No. 3 Wild Card team, by five games. <\/p>\n
The Cubs are currently the top Wild Card team, with a 5.5 game cushion over the No. 2 Wild Card team, Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
A week before Cincinnati travels to Chicago for a three-game series, between Aug. 28-30, they’ll be in Arizona from Aug. 21-23 in a chance to make up some ground in the Wild Card race.<\/p>\n
The Aug. 30 broadcast could have a bit of extra Reds flavor to it, too, after franchise icon Joey Votto made his debut as an analyst on Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend.<\/p>\n
Dubbed an “Inside the Pitch” analyst, Votto sat near the dugout instead of in the broadcast booth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Late-August Reds game against Cubs flexed to Sunday Nigh Baseball, to be aired on WLWT CHICAGO \u2014 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":764640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2400],"tags":[31247,22,15899,5,4586,24,535,50,4259,14,94566,4,3625,3354,144,536,94567,13133,47407,14917],"class_list":["post-764639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cincinnati-reds","tag-analyst","tag-arizona-diamondbacks","tag-aug","tag-baseball","tag-broadcast","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-reds","tag-cincinnatireds","tag-game","tag-late-august-reds-game","tag-mlb","tag-nbc-sports","tag-no","tag-philadelphia","tag-reds","tag-sunday-nigh-baseball","tag-sunday-night-baseball","tag-wild-card-team","tag-wlwt"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117003914292858907","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=764639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/764640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
