The Los Angeles Dodgers started their first homestand of the regular season with a win over the St. Louis Cardinals and now look to start a winning streak Friday night, with the game selected for an exclusive live stream on Apple TV+.
SportsNet LA is not going to have their own broadcast of the Dodgers’ matchup against the Cardinals. They also will not carry the series finale, which was selected for a national broadcast by ESPN for their “Sunday Night Baseball” schedule.
However, fan in the United States and Canada do have the option of listening to the audio of the home and away teams’ local radio broadcasts during “Friday Night Baseball” games.
Wayne Randazzo is handling play-by-play duties for the “Friday Night Baseball” on Apple TV+, and he’s being joined by Dodgers analyst Dontrelle Willis and in-game reporter Russell Dorsey.
“Friday Night Baseball” streams incorporate drone cameras for aerial stadium shots, as well as player mics and field-level mics to further immerse fans in the gameplay and overall atmosphere.
MLB games streaming on Apple TV+ began at the start of the 2022 season.
How to watch Dodgers games for free on Apple TV+
Fans can watch “Friday Night Baseball” on any internet device where Apple TV+ can be found, including iPad, iPhone, Apple TV 4K and HD, Mac, and on tv.apple.com. Android phones are one of the only devices that does not support Apple TV+.
Although a subscription is required to watch MLB games on Apple TV+, new and existing customers are eligible for a two-month free trial.
Signing up would amount to being able to watch the Dodgers for free on Apple TV+ when they play the Cardinals, but the trial expires before their next appearance against the New York Yankees on June 7.
However, in a change from the last two seasons, that game will be carried by SportsNet LA and not be an Apple TV+ exclusive.
