The Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip with a matchup against the San Diego Padres that is exclusively streaming online through Apple TV+ as part of their “Friday Night Baseball” schedule for 2026.
It’s the Dodgers’ third and final Apple selection for the first half of this season. They last were on the streaming platform for a National League Division Series rematch with the Philadelphia Phillies on May 29.
The Dodgers won that game, but lost their first Apple TV+ stream of the season when they fell 6-4 to the Chicago Cubs.
Wayne Randazzo is again handling play-by-play duties for Friday’s game at Petco Park, with Dontrelle Willis contributing as an analyst and Heidi Watney reporting from the field.
The Dodgers enter the matchup having just swept the Minnesota Twins and with a nine-game lead over the Padres in the NL West standings. Although the Padres are in the midst of a disappointing season, their homestand started with a sweep of the Atlanta Braves.
In addition to recent years of intense head-to-head battles, Friday’s game comes with added intrigue as Walker Buehler is starting against the Dodgers for only the second time in his career. L.A. drafted Buehler in 2015 and he went on to play a pivotal role in their postseason success before signing with the Boston Red Sox as a free agent.
