This week Apple and Major League Baseball (MLB) unveiled the August Friday Night Baseball schedule for Apple TV+ subscribers, so you know when your team is up at bat. And there’s quite a lot of other baseball content streaming. Check it out below.
August Friday Night Baseball schedule on Apple TV+
Apple TV+ airs eight games in August, two each week. Every week during the MLB season, Friday Night Baseball games on Apple TV+ get the call from the same crews. Crew assignments for games come out weekly.
The crews are made up of play-by-play announcers Wayne Randazzo and Alex Faust, analysts Dontrelle Willis and Ryan Spilborghs, and sideline reporters Heidi Watney and Tricia Whitaker. And breaking down the rules and calls are former MLB umpires Brian Gorman and Dale Scott.
Lauren Gardner and Siera Santos host the Friday Night Baseball studio show. Former MLB players Xavier Scruggs and Matt Joyce analyze the action along with baseball journalist Russell Dorsey and betting analyst Claudia Bellofatto.
