Braves have three games among 2023 Apple TV+ slate

Mar 22, 2023 - 3:50 PM

Major League Baseball and Apple Wednesday announced the return of “Friday Night Baseball” for the 2023 season. The weekly doubleheader will be available to Apple TV+ subscribers with no local broadcast blackout restrictions. The Atlanta Braves will be featured prominently with three matchups among the schedule through the end of June.

Those games are:

April 7 vs. Padres - 7 p.m. ET

April 21 vs. Astros - 7 p.m. ET

May 19 vs. Mariners - 7 p.m. ET

New to the broadcast this season is the option to switch to local radio broadcasts for the audio so that will be an added bonus.

“Friday Night Baseball” will be produced by MLB Network’s Emmy Award-winning production team in partnership with Apple, bringing viewers an unparalleled viewing experience. Each game will feature state-of-the-art cameras to present vivid live-action shots, and offer immersive sound in 5.1 with Spatial Audio enabled. “Friday Night Baseball” will again utilize drone cameras for beautiful aerial stadium shots, as well as player mics and field-level mics to immerse fans in the gameplay and stadium atmosphere. Fans in the U.S. and Canada1 will also have the option to listen to the audio of the home and away teams’ local radio broadcasts during “Friday Night Baseball” games.

It does appear though that an Apple TV+ subscription will be required for 2023 after it was free last season.

Here is a look at the complete schedule of “Friday Night Baseball” on Apple TV+ through the end of June:
