Red Sox next two Friday games to be streamed exclusively on Apple TV+

For the second time in under a week, a Red Sox game will be available exclusively on a streaming provider.

Following Sunday’s game on Roku, the Red Sox will play the first of two consecutive Friday games carried exclusively by Apple TV+ tonight when they host the Milwaukee Brewers for the opener of this weekend’s three-game set.

Then, next Friday, Boston’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park will also be carried by Apple TV+.

The games are part of a larger national broadcast agreement between MLB and Apple, which will stream a “Friday Night Baseball” doubleheader weekly throughout the season. The games will feature a combination of Wayne Randazzo and Alex Faust on play-by-play, Dontrelle Willis and Ryan Spilborghs as analysts and Heidi Watney (formerly of NESN) and Tricia Whitaker as sideline reporters. Former umpires Ted Barrett, Brian Gorman and Dale Scott will also be featured as rules analysts.

Fans will also have the option to listen to the home and away teams’ local radio broadcasts.

To watch “Friday Night Baseball,” Apple TV+ subscribers can stream the games on the Apple TV app, which comes preinstalled on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, as well as online at tv.apple.com. The Apple TV app is also available on certain smart TVs, including Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, TCL, Vizio and others, along with on Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, Chromecast with Google TV, and set-top boxes, including Comcast Xfinity.

For those who aren’t subscribers, Apple TV+ is available for $9.99 per month with a seven-day free trial.

Boston will have at least three games carried by AppleTV+, the most notable being the June 28 game against the San Diego Padres. That game could mark Xander Bogaerts’ first appearance back in Boston since signing with the Padres after the 2022 season, though his availability is now in doubt after suffering a fractured shoulder earlier this week that is expected to sideline him for a significant period of time.
