The three-episode run follows the Dodgers and the Yankees through the postseason, providing viewers with behind-the-scenes access to superstar players, managers, and their families, as they attempt to claim Major League Baseball's throne in the playoffs. All three one-hour episodes are available today.

"Friday Night Baseball" comes bundled with an Apple TV+ subscription at no extra charge. In the U.S., Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month or $99 annually, and it's also part of every Apple One bundle alongside other Apple services.

A schedule of games for the first half of the season is available in Apple's press release from earlier this month.

Next month, Apple is also releasing a new, free immersive video called "VIP: Yankee Stadium" for Apple Vision Pro users that will feature "an all-access pass to one of the world's most iconic sports venues." The video covers the June 2024 match between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, and will not require an Apple TV+ subscription to watch.

Apple Friday Night Baseball is produced by MLB Network and man is it super clean and well done. The ESPN package is up for grabs after this season and I hope MLB does more business with Apple

Pretty sure they are baked in like other network's sports broadcasts.

My favorite thing about Apple's FNB is that you can select either team's radio broadcast instead of the Apple commentators.

As a Braves fan, I have less than zero interest in that documentary.

"World Series" The world:
This overly pedantic twit post is so tired.

If you knew anything at all, you'd understand that in 1903, when the first World Series was staged, it featured quite literally the two best baseball teams on the planet. There's legitimacy there.
