Major League Baseball has been looking at possible over-the-top streaming for baseball TV broadcasts — as have the Cubs — and today the league announced a streaming deal with Apple TV+:
Apple and Major League Baseball (MLB) today announced “Friday Night Baseball,” a weekly doubleheader with live pre- and postgame shows that will be available to fans in eight countries exclusively on Apple TV+ as soon as the regular season begins.
In addition to “Friday Night Baseball,” fans in the US will be able to enjoy “MLB Big Inning,” a live show featuring highlights and look-ins airing every weeknight during the regular season.
