Apple announced that “Friday Night Baseball” will return to Apple TV on March 27, marking the fifth season of the weekly MLB doubleheader streaming series. The program will feature two games every Friday throughout the 25-week 2026 MLB regular season, with the opening matchups being Los Angeles Angels vs. Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians vs. Seattle Mariners.
Apple said the broadcasts will be available in more than 60 countries and will include enhanced production features, expert commentary teams, and no local blackout restrictions. The company also plans to further integrate iPhone cameras into the live broadcast workflow after previously using the iPhone 17 Pro during a 2025 MLB game, a milestone that was later recognized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Subscribers can watch the games through the Apple TV app across multiple devices and platforms, while additional MLB-related programming and highlights will also be available within Apple’s broader sports ecosystem, including the Apple Sports app and Apple News.
