Get ready for peanuts and cracker jacks! Apple TV+ is bringing back "Friday Night Baseball" for its fourth season, starting March 28. Baseball fans around the globe can tune in for weekly doubleheaders, exclusive content, and immersive experiences.
What to Expect This Season
Apple TV+ is pulling out all the stops to make this season a home run. Starting March 28th and continuing throughout the regular season, "Friday Night Baseball" will air in 60 countries over 25 weeks. Each week will feature a doubleheader, giving you twice the baseball action. Subscribers can also enjoy MLB shows like MLB Big Inning and Countdown to First Pitch, plus game recaps and classic game replays.
The opening weekend boasts some exciting matchups. The Baltimore Orioles will face off against the Toronto Blue Jays, followed by the New York Mets taking on the Houston Astros. Later in the season, fans can look forward to a rematch between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers after their 2024 World Series face-off, as well as a game between the Texas Rangers and the Astros.
More Than Just Games
But that's not all! Apple is adding even more value for baseball enthusiasts. This season includes "Fight For Glory: 2024 World Series," a three-part docuseries that follows the Dodgers and Yankees' journey to the World Series and how each team handled their post-season challenges. This offers a behind-the-scenes look at the dedication and drama of professional baseball.
For those lucky enough to own an Apple Vision Pro, there's even more to get excited about. "VIP: Yankee Stadium" is a short film shot in Apple’s Immersive Video format. It promises an all-access pass to one of baseball’s most iconic venues. Imagine experiencing the roar of the crowd and the energy of the stadium from the comfort of your own home!
A Continued Commitment to Baseball
Apple has been offering Major League Baseball games through the Apple TV app since 2022, initially for free. While "Friday Night Baseball" moved behind the Apple TV+ paywall in 2023, Apple is clearly working to enhance the value proposition with additional content and features. While they've reportedly considered acquiring rights to NFL Prime Ticket, for now, their sports programming focuses on Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball.
So, mark your calendars! "Friday Night Baseball" returns to Apple TV+ on March 28. Get ready for a season filled with exciting matchups, exclusive content, and immersive experiences that will bring you closer to the game than ever before.
As Apple continues to expand its sports programming, "Friday Night Baseball" is a clear indication of their commitment to delivering high-quality content to baseball fans worldwide. Get ready to cheer on your favorite teams and enjoy the thrill of the game, all from the comfort of your own home.
