Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Starting on Friday, April 8, Apple TV+ will stream Friday Night Baseball,  a doubleheader that will be available for free to anyone with internet access in one of the countries where the service will be available. You don’t need to subscribe to Apple TV+ to watch any of these games in the schedule that has been released.

Here’s how to watch Friday Night Baseball, whether you have Apple TV+ or not.

Updated with information about broadcast teams, additional programming, and Apple News and Apple Music coverage.

How to watch Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+

Apple has announced that the first 12 weeks of the season will be free, so you don’t need an Apple TV+ subscription. Apple has not announced the schedule beyond June 24, nor whether future games will require a subscription.

On Mac, iPhone, and iPad: Friday Night Baseball will be available through the TV app. Click on the Originals tab and the scroll down to Major League Baseball.

On Apple TV 4K and HD: Go to the Sports tab and scroll down to Major League Baseball. From there, you can see the schedule and add gamers to your Up Next queue.

On the web: Apple TV+ is available through a browser at tv.apple.com. If Friday Night Baseball isn’t appearing in the marquee spot at the top of the page, scroll down and look for the Major League Baseball section.

On a smart TV or set-top box: Many smart TVs and set-top boxes come with the Apple TV app installed. If not, you can search for it through the App Store on your device (Amazon, Google, Roku, etc.). If you can’t find the Apple TV app, check your device for a software update.

Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball schedule

Apple has posted the first 12 weeks of the Friday Night Baseball schedule, covering April 8 to June 24. Start times for the first game are at 6:30, 7, or 8 p.m. ET, while the second game starts at 8, 9:30, or 10 p.m. ET.

Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball’s coverage

Apple announced that the games will include pre- and post-game coverage hosted by Lauren Gardner with a rotating group of analysts and former players, including Carlos Peña, Cliff Floyd, and Yonder Alonso. Broadcast teams for each game will be announced on a weekly basis.

The broadcast teams are all MLB Network personalities, and Apple is relying on the MLB Network for its telecast production. In a press release, Apple stated that the production will involve high-speed Phantom and high-resolution Megalodon cameras, immersive sound in 5.1 with spatial audio enabled, new on-screen graphics that include probabilities-based forecasts, and highlights and live look-ins from around the league integrated right into the broadcast.

Apple also announced that games will display on-screen callouts about batters’ walk-up songs from Apple Music, Siri-based baseball trivia, and more. 

Apple will also offer shows with more baseball coverage. On Thursdays, “Countdown to First Pitch” previews the week’s upcoming games. Every morning, “MLB Daily Recap” will show highlights from the previous night. Every weeknight, “MLB Big Inning,” will feature highlights and coverage of the games in progress. In the U.S. and Canada, viewers can watch a livestream of highlights, analysis, classic games and shows, and more, in addition to on-demand programming. However, access to this content will require an Apple TV+ subscription.

Baseball coverage in Apple News and Apple Music

Apple News currently has an MLB Opening Day preview curated by Apple News editors. On Fridays, Apple News will have curated highlights and stories from around MLB, and you can get personalized MLB highlights in the News app.

Apple Music will have playlists of batters’ walk-up songs from teams featured on “Friday Night Baseball.” There will also be a collection of songs with the theme of baseball.
