Two Mariners matchups in August just got locked down for exclusive streaming on Apple TV’s “Friday Night Baseball,” and if you don’t already have a subscription, you better get ready. The full 2026 “Friday Night Baseball” schedule, released through the end of August, confirms our boys are going national and you’ll need to adjust your viewing habits.

Mark Your Calendars For Our Boys

Our M’s are hitting the Apple TV airwaves twice in August, so make sure your viewing plans are solid. First up, we’ve got the **Rays at Mariners** on August 7, kicking off at 9:45 p.m. ET, which is 6:45 p.m. PT right here at T-Mobile Park. Then later in the month, our team travels north for a matchup against the **Blue Jays in Toronto** on August 28, with first pitch set for 7:15 p.m. ET, or 4:15 p.m. PT for us. These are two big ones, and Apple TV holds the exclusive streaming rights, making it the fifth consecutive year they’ve had two games every Friday across a 25-week span from March through September.

What It Means For Your Wallet

So, how do you catch these crucial games if you’re not already on the Apple TV train? New subscribers can snag a free seven-day trial. After that, it’s $12.99 a month in the U.S., or $14.99 if you’re up in Canada for some reason. This isn’t just about our Mariners, either; the service is also showing high-profile matchups like the Dodgers hosting the Cubs on April 24, a Mets-Yankees showdown on May 15, and a Dodgers-Phillies NLDS rematch on May 29. You’ll be watching alongside broadcast teams like Wayne Randazzo, Dontrelle Willis, and Heidi Watney, or Alex Faust, Ryan Spilborghs, and Tricia Whitaker, with Rich Waltz filling in occasionally.

Missing these August games isn’t an option for any true M’s fan. These are important matchups in the thick of the season. Make sure you’re squared away with Apple TV now, so you don’t miss a single pitch when our Mariners take the field.
