A Major League Baseball panel cut the rights fees owed the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals from the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network by 20% for each of the final three seasons of the five-year period through 2026, citing a deteriorating cable television market. MLB’s Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee awarded each team approximately $320.5 million for 2022-26. The rights fee was set at about $72.8 million each for 2022 and ’23 — matching 2021 — and dropped to approximately $58.3 million annually from 2024-26. The committee attributed the decision to an expected drop in revenue due to subscriber loss and an inability to increase per-subscriber fees.
