“Friday Night Baseball” doubleheaders are returning on Apple TV for a fifth season, beginning March 27, the first weekend of the 2026 MLB season.

Apple is planning to live stream games every Friday over the course of the 25-week season, and thus far announced matchups for the first half of their schedule. It includes the Los Angeles Dodgers being featured for games against the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres.

More dates will be unveiled at a future time, as Apple and MLB have only released the “Friday Night Baseball” schedule through June 26.

“‘Friday Night Baseball’ on Apple TV continues to elevate how fans experience the game,” said Oliver Schusser, vice president of Apple Music, Apple TV, Sports, and Beats.

“With cutting-edge production — including the integration of iPhone to capture immersive new perspectives — and a full season of marquee matchups available without local broadcast restrictions, we’re delivering a modern, premium broadcast experience designed for fans everywhere.”

For the fourth consecutive season, “Friday Night Baseball” games will be called by broadcast teams that consist of Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst) and Heidi Watney (reporter); and Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst) and Tricia Whitaker (reporter). Rich Waltz will call select games during the season as well.

Willis is additionally remaining part of the SportsNet LA broadcast team.
