  Apple and Major League Baseball announce July “Friday Night Baseball” schedule

  Today, Apple and Major League Baseball (MLB) unveiled the July schedule for “Friday Night Baseball”, the weekly double-header streaming every Friday on Apple TV throughout the 2026 regular season. Apple TV subscribers across 60 countries and regions can enjoy two marquee match-ups each week with enhanced production quality, expert commentary and no local broadcast restrictions.

  July’s schedule features several marquee match-ups, beginning 10 July (US Eastern Daylight Time) when the Boston Red Sox visit Juan Soto and the New York Mets at Citi Field. Later in the month, reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees travel to Philadelphia on 24 July (EDT) to face Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies. The month concludes with a pair of heated division rivalries on 31 July (EDT), as the Texas Rangers take on the Houston Astros, while the San Francisco Giants head south to face the San Diego Padres.

  For the fifth straight season, “Friday Night Baseball” games will be called by broadcast teams Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst) and Heidi Watney (sideline reporter); and Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst) and Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter) with Rich Waltz, who will join the broadcast team to call selected games during the season. Game-by-game announcer assignments will be revealed weekly. The “Friday Night Baseball” pre-game shows will be hosted by Lauren Gardner, former MLB All-Star player Eric Hosmer and insider Russell Dorsey.

  Presented by Essilor and Goodyear, “Friday Night Baseball” is produced by MLB Network’s Emmy Award–winning production team in partnership with Apple’s live sports production team.
