Apple is taking another swing at live baseball, announcing an expanded version of its Friday Night Baseball program for Apple TV+.
And while last season (the company’s first foray into live sports) saw some of the games available for free, this year only subscribers to the streaming service will be able to access the games.
Apple’s Friday Night Baseball will kick off the 2023 season on April 7 with the Texas Rangers facing the Chicago Cubs, followed by the San Diego Padres facing the Atlanta Braves. Apple is changing up its broadcast booths this year, with Wayne Randazzo and Alex Faust handling play-by-play duties, joined by analysts Dontrelle Willis and Ryan Spilborghs, and sideline reporters Heidi Watney and Tricia Whitaker.
The pre- and post-game shows will once again be hosted by Lauren Gardner, joined by Siera Santos. Xavier Scruggs and Matt Joyce will serve as analysts alongside journalist Russel Dorsey.

Baseball is nearly back, but watching certain primetime games this year will cost you the price of an Apple TV+ subscription.
Apple announced Wednesday that “Friday Night Baseball” will return for the 2023 MLB season in its same format as last year, with one key difference: Rather than offer the games for free, live games are behind the paywall for Season 2.
That’s two live games (with no local blackout restrictions) every Friday for the 25-week baseball season and a bundle of other MLB content for $6.99 per month. That’s still much cheaper than Apple TV+’s subscription to Mls Season Pass ($12.99/month or $79/year) — but unlike the streamer’s soccer offering, you can’t get Friday Night Baseball a la carte.
If you have to watch all 162 games of your favorite team, you also will get “Ted Lasso” and you will like it. There is an alternative, but it requires...
