ST. LOUIS – Just like last year, the St. Louis Cardinals begin a road series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a Friday and a game broadcast exclusively on Apple TV+.
If you’re planning to watch the game from home, you’ll need to plan ahead. You won’t find Friday’s matchup on regional or national television.
For the 2023 season, Apple and MLB have partnered up for “Friday Night Baseball,” airing 26 games on Apple streaming services. There will be doubleheaders every Friday night for 13 weeks of the first 14 weeks this season. Friday’s game is the first (and currently the only one scheduled) with the Cardinals airing on Apple TV+ this season.
