Friday Night Baseball is set to return to Apple TV+ — but this year, you’ll need a subscription to watch.
Apple today dropped the first details for its Friday night coverage of the upcoming Major League Baseball season. And while the games themselves are the most important part, a close second is tha, starting with the April 7 games, you’ll need a subscription to Apple TV+ if you want to watch.
The change isn’t overly surprising, and other games on other networks will still otherwise be available in their own ways. Apple TV+ costs $7 a month if you want it on its own, or you can snag it for free as part of an Apple One subscription, which also gets you other things like Apple Music, Apple News, Apple Arcade, and more. And some T-Mobile subscribers can still get Apple TV+ for free as part of their wireless plans.
Back to the baseball, though. Apple’s streams start o April 7 with the Texas Rangers at the Chicago Cubs (in a day game, no less). That’ll be followed up with San Diego at Atlanta in the nightcap. And starting March 30, Apple TV+ will have MLB Opening Day and the MLB Big Inning whiparound show for even more in-game coverage.
