The Detroit Tigers are set to take center stage under the lights this Sunday, May 3, as they host the Texas Rangers in the series finale at Comerica Park. This matchup marks the Tigers' fifth national TV appearance of the 2026 season, and it's a big one—so you'll want to clear your schedule.

For fans used to catching the action on Detroit SportsNet, take note: this game won't be airing there. Instead, it's moving to the national spotlight on NBC's "Sunday Night Baseball," with streaming options also available. The broadcast will feature a familiar voice: Tigers play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti, who now handles "Sunday Night Baseball" duties for NBC. He'll be joined in the booth by Tigers analyst Dan Petry and Rangers analyst Mike Bacsik, promising a mix of local insight and national flair.

The Tigers have had a mixed bag on national TV so far in 2026, sitting at 1-3 in those games. Their most recent national appearance was a tough 1-0, 10-inning loss to the Boston Red Sox on Apple TV back on April 17. However, the team is coming off a strong 5-1 win over the Rangers on Saturday, May 2, which evened the series and should give them some momentum heading into Sunday night.

Whether you're tuning in to see if the Tigers can build on that win or just want to enjoy a classic AL showdown, this is a game you won't want to miss. Grab your Tigers gear, settle in, and get ready for a prime-time battle under the Comerica Park lights.
