The Cubs will host the Rangers on April 7 to open baseball’s second season on Apple TV+.

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Apple TV+ will begin its second season of “Friday Night Baseball” on April 7. The Cubs will host the Texas Rangers in a day game, followed by the San Diego Padres facing the Atlanta Braves.

Apple will carry twin bills over 25 weeks with no local blackout restrictions. In a change from last year, when there were doubleheaders on the East and West coasts, both games will be going on simultaneously most weeks.
