The 2026 MLB season will have more ways to watch baseball games than ever before. Numerous streaming platforms and television networks are getting in on the action of MLB coverage. One player in the game is Apple TV, which has been broadcasting ‘Friday Night Baseball' since the 2022 season. The weekly broadcast features a doubleheader to cap the week and includes some incredible pregame and postgame analysis, as well as highly anticipated rivalry matchups.
