Apple TV+ have announced the first-half schedule of MLB games to air every Friday night as part of its ‘Friday Night Baseball’ broadcasts, available to watch for free on the TV app and tv.apple.com.

The 2022 slate begins on April 8 when Max Scherzer and the Mets take on Juan Soto and the Nationals at 7 p.m. ET. That will be followed by the defending American League champions, the Astros, visiting reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani, who is scheduled to take the hill and hit leadoff for the Angels.

‘Friday Night Baseball’ games will be available to anyone with Internet access across devices where Apple TV+ can be found. That includes the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K and HD, and on tv.apple.com, along with smart TVs, gaming consoles and cable set-top boxes. 

Free coverage of ‘Friday Night Baseball’ will include live pre and postgame shows, and will be available on Apple TV+ in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea and the United Kingdom, and for a limited time, without the need for a subscription.
