“Friday Night Baseball”: A big coup for Apple TV+
As part of Friday Night Baseball, fans can watch the most important games without local broadcast restrictions. The weekly double header will be available in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea and the United Kingdom and is free for a limited time without requiring an Apple TV+ subscription. Friday Night Baseball games can be viewed on any device capable of playing Apple TV+ content, including Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, supported Smart TVs, gaming consoles and cable set-top boxes. Friday Night Baseball is a major coup for Apple as it marks the company’s entry into the live sports broadcast arena. Apple is believed to have paid around $85 million in a $115 million deal between Apple, NBC Sports and the MLB. (Image: Apple)
