ESPN Baseball Tonight is an unreleased baseball game for the Sega Dreamcast. It is entirely unrelated to ESPN Baseball Tonight for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD - both are simply named after the long-running Baseball Tonight television show that airs on the US TV channel, ESPN.

Konami advertised ESPN Baseball Tonight around the same period as ESPN NBA 2Night (which shared similar ideas, albeit for basketball instead of baseball). In the Autumn of 2000, the game was reportedly delayed until "next season" on quality grounds[4], with the project being quietly cancelled at some point afterwards. It is not known how far into development the game got before it was cancelled.

No versions of the game were released for other platforms.
