The Yankees will be coming to Amazon Prime customers located within the extended New York viewing market this upcoming season after the online behemoth bought a partial ownership stake in the team’s network last summer.
A total of 21 games, including marquee showdowns with the rival Boston Red Sox and now villainous Houston Astros, will be available to Prime customers in New York, northeast Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and parts of central and northern New Jersey. The first stream will be on April 17 when the Yankees host a 7:05 p.m. start against the Cincinnati Reds.
Non-Amazon Prime customers need not worry about missing any action as the deal isn’t exclusive, meaning games will still be available on television.
