The 2026 MLB season is here, and your weekly “Friday Night Baseball” fix is coming exclusively to Apple TV. Get ready for national broadcasts from March all the way through September, packed with high-profile matchups you won’t want to miss.
Circle These Dates For Must-See Baseball
The schedule that’s out right now already has some absolute heaters we need to talk about. We’re getting a Dodgers versus Cubs battle on April 24, which is gonna be wild. Then, on May 15, it’s the classic Mets-Yankees showdown. Seriously, can you ask for anything more? Later in May, on the 29th, the Dodgers and Phillies are running it back in an NLDS rematch. You know that one’s gonna have some serious intensity. Looking ahead to September, get ready for the Reds at Brewers on the 11th at 7:45 p.m. ET, followed by the Padres taking on the Giants at 10:15 p.m. ET. The very next week, September 18, it’s Phillies at Mets at 7:15 p.m. ET, and then the Giants heading to Dodger Stadium at 10:15 p.m. ET. That’s a lot of baseball goodness.
Your Guide To Getting In On The Action
So, how do you actually watch all this? You’ll need an Apple TV subscription. New folks can snag a free seven-day trial, which is pretty sweet. After that, it’s $14.99 a month to keep the games coming. And who’s calling these games for us? The broadcast teams are back for their fourth season, which is cool. You’ll hear Wayne Randazzo doing play-by-play with Dontrelle Willis as analyst and Heidi Watney reporting from the field for one game. For the other, it’s Alex Faust on play-by-play, Ryan Spilborghs as analyst, and Tricia Whitaker reporting. And keep an ear out for Rich Waltz, he’ll be filling in sometimes. This whole “Friday Night Baseball” thing with Apple? It’s the fifth year in a row, with Apple having exclusive streaming rights to two games every Friday across a 25-week stretch. That’s a lot of baseball streaming right there.
So, get your Apple TV ready. Those Friday nights are gonna be packed with some incredible MLB action through the end of the season. Don’t miss out on these matchups!
