How to Watch Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+ in 2024

The smell of freshly cut grass. The crack of the bat. A hot dog in one hand. Maybe a beer in the other. For baseball fans, there's nothing better than the start of the season. But with each MLB team playing a whopping 162 games, it can be hard to keep up with all the action. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to learn how to watch Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+ and yell at the screen when a deep fly ball looks like it might sail over the outfield wall.

When it comes to 2024 Friday Night Baseball, there's a lot to get excited about. On May 10, the defending National League Champion Arizona Diamondbacks take on the surging Baltimore Orioles. On June 7, two of the most storied franchises in baseball history square off when the Los Angeles Dodgers head to The Bronx to face the New York Yankees. On June 21, there will be an NLCS rematch between the Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies. And then there's still three more months of regular season action before the playoffs roll around.

One of the most consistent sources of Friday Night Baseball is Apple TV+, which airs two games every Friday and is broadcasting all of the aforementioned games. That being said, if you want to catch every single game, Apple TV+ should be your go-to.

But, there are also some more streaming services you might want to check out if Apple TV+ doesn't sound right for you. MLB.TV is a juggernaut of baseball content, connecting viewers with TV broadcasts from around the country. You can also get access to MLB.TV via a Prime Video add-on. MLB Network doesn't have quite the same abundance of offerings as MLB.TV, and it's a traditional TV channel, not an app. But it does offer several games on Fridays, and provides wall-to-wall baseball news throughout the week. ESPN+ also airs a baseball game almost every day of the season. 

For many devoted fans, the best way to watch their favorite teams is via a regional TV network. New York Yankees fans have the YES channel and YES app, both of which broadcast the vast majority of Yankees games. The Los Angeles Dodgers have Spectrum SportsNet LA. The Boston Red Sox have the New England Sports Network. You get the picture.

With all these options, you won't have much trouble tuning in for Friday Night Baseball games, whether you want to watch the most anticipated MLB game of the night or keep tabs on your favorite team. Here's how to do just that.
