Apple TV+ and MLB Announce Return of 'Friday Night Baseball' and More

Apple and Major League Baseball today announced that the "Friday Night Baseball" weekly doubleheader is set to return to Apple TV+ on March 28.

Apple TV Plus Friday Night Baseball 2025
A schedule of games for the first half of the season is available in Apple's press release.

"Friday Night Baseball" is included with an Apple TV+ subscription, at no additional cost. In the U.S., Apple TV+ costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year, and it is also included in all Apple One subscription bundles with other Apple services.

Apple also announced a new immersive video called "VIP: Yankee Stadium" that will provide Apple Vision Pro users with "an all-access pass to one of the world's most iconic sports venues." The film will be released next month, for free, and it features broadcasting legend Joe Buck welcoming viewers to a June 2024 match between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. No Apple TV+ subscription is required for this.

Last, Apple said a new "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series" docuseries is set to premiere on Apple TV+ later this month.

Everyday baseball watcher here. The video quality is great on Apple TV+. The only thing I miss of course is the local announcers, but that's a problem on all national broadcasts (Fox, etc...)

Damn shame. Big apple fan, big MLB fan - can't stand the two together.

The on-air talent doesn't even pretend to like the game. Apple, if you want to shake things up - build a broadcasting booth that matters for each individual game like (good) playoff coverage by cable networks.

Pull old players, "legendary" broadcasters from the relevant cities. You know the schedule, a year in advance!

Even retired voices, what a great gig for a guy like John Sterling who called Yankee games on the radio for decades, but found himself ready to retire from everyday work.

I think the biggest issue is that MLB is splitting their coverage up so much that it makes it a pain to be a fan when you have to coordinate between 2-3 different sources depending on the day.

As an MLBTV subscriber, I hate when my team is on Apple's Friday night baseball as they don't show it on MLBTV in that case.
