"We're excited that Bob has agreed to come home to NBC Sports, where he helped make baseball an iconic brand earlier in his career for so many years,"
"There is no more knowledgeable, authoritative, and passionate voice on baseball than Bob Costas."
"As appreciative as I am of other aspects of my career, especially HBO and the MLB Network, for 40 years, my true broadcasting home was NBC. So many great moments, memories, and friendships. Now, I am very grateful to Rick Cordella and [executive producer and president of production] Sam Flood for inviting me back in an emeritus role to conclude my career where so much of it played out."
Bob Costas is returning to NBC Sports as host of the Sunday Night Baseball pregame show and will debut March 26 when the World Series champion Dodgers host the Diamondbacks. Costas served as a play-by-play voice and host for NBC Sports' MLB coverage for 15 seasons (1982–89; 1994–2000) and received the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford Frick Award in 2018. He hosted 12 Olympics for NBC, left the network in January 2019, and has worked with MLB Network since 2009. His NBC role will also include some involvement with NBA coverage.
