Why netflix Is Trending Today?

Netflix has secured the exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) in Japan, which means all 47 matches will be available only on the platform. This marks the first time the tournament won't be broadcast on terrestrial television in Japan. The move has sparked reactions from various parties, including the Yomiuri Shimbun, which issued a statement expressing that Netflix was granted the broadcasting rights without going through them. The Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) also released a statement acknowledging Netflix's exclusive domestic streaming rights for the 2026 WBC, which was previously announced by World Baseball Classic Inc. (WBCI).
