The MLB and Apple TV have partnered up once again and announced that Friday Night Baseball will return. This year, it will feature a weekly doubleheader every Friday for Apple TV+ Subscribers.

“We’re so excited to bring fans another great season of ‘Friday Night Baseball’ on Apple TV+,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services. “We have an outstanding lineup of games for Apple TV+ subscribers to watch across all their favorite devices, and an incredible group of talented broadcasters returning to bring fans closer to the games every week.”

One thing that baseball fans will enjoy is that they can enjoy two games a week without broadcast restrictions. Friday Night Baseball will begin on opening weekend of the 2024 season – Friday, March 29 – with some big stars taking center stage. Coverage will begin at 7:30 PM ET with the New York Yankees taking on the Houston Astros, that game will be followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the St. Loius Cardinals.

The schedule for the first half of the season has already been released. The broadcasting team will feature Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst), Heidi Watney (sideline reporter), Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst), and Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter). They will also have three former MLB Umpires – Ted Barrett, Brian Gorman, and Dale Scott to help break down the rules and calls each week. The assignments for announcers will be dispersed per week.

In 2023, “Friday Night Baseball” was a success. This season, they’re taking it up a notch, the MLB Network’s Emmy Award-winning production team in partnership with Apple’s live sports production team, bringing viewers an unparalleled viewing experience. Each game features state-of-the-art cameras. The MLB and Apple TV will work together to try and televise each team evenly.
