"Friday Night Baseball" is back for its fourth season on Apple TV+, with virtually all MLB's biggest stars set to take center stage on the platform this year.

Every week, the Apple TV+ streaming service will be the exclusive home for two big league games. The Athletics, Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox are the only teams that don't have at least one "Friday Night Baseball" game on the books prior to the All-Star break, while several clubs are already slated for multiple appearances.

Those contests will air only on Apple TV+, meaning they won't be available on ESPN, TBS, FOX or any team's typical local station.

Fans can sign up for a seven-day free trial of Apple TV+, which also carries MLS games and original, scripted TV shows such as "Severance," "Ted Lasso" and "The Studio." Apple TV+ also just released a three-episode documentary series about the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees' recent battle in the Fall Classic called "Fight for Glory: 2024 World Series."

Three free months of Apple TV+ come with the purchase of an Apple device, as long as the offer is redeemed within 90 days. Following the free trial, Apple TV+ costs $9.99 a month.

The Apple TV+ app can be downloaded through any smart TV or smartphone. The service is also available via browser on computers. For sign-up information direct from Apple, click here.
