Over the past two seasons, MLB fans have needed to navigate multiple streaming services to watch regular-season contests. This is because games aired on Peacock and Apple TV+, as well as traditional national and regional sports networks. But, will Apple TV+ air MLB games again in 2024?

Status of MLB Games on Apple TV+ in 2024

Yes, MLB games will air on Apple TV+ in 2024. Apple and Major League Baseball confirmed this in March 2024.

This will be the third consecutive year that Apple TV+ has aired exclusive regular-season Major League Baseball games on the platform. The two sides first came into agreement on airing regular-season contests in 2022 after the conclusion of the MLB lockout.

MLB will air nationally televised games on Apple TV+ on Friday nights during the 2024 campaign. Additionally, nationally televised games will air on ESPN, TBS, Fox, and MLB Network.

Do you have to pay to watch MLB on Apple TV+?

Much like in 2023, a subscription to Apple TV+ is required to watch MLB games on the streaming service. An Apple TV+ subscription costs $9.99 and comes with a seven-day free trial.
