Apple TV Will Exclusively Stream Twins at Diamondbacks Friday Night

Fans must watch on the Apple TV app with a one-week free trial followed by a reported $12.99 monthly fee, a change that reduces local broadcast options.

Overview

  • The Minnesota Twins visit the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field with first pitch scheduled for Friday, June 19 at 9:45 p.m. ET.
  • MLB and Apple designated the game as part of the national Friday Night Baseball window so it will stream only on Apple TV and not appear on DBACKS.TV or some local telecasts.
  • New viewers can start with a one-week free trial of Apple TV then pay a reported $12.99 per month, and the Apple TV app is available on select smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and gaming consoles.
  • Both clubs enter the series with momentum, as Arizona has won its last two series and sits just above .500 while Minnesota has also taken two straight series.
  • Apple and MLB announced a multi-week Friday Night Baseball slate through July that moves select regular-season games behind a streaming paywall, a shift that could push more fans to subscribe and change how regional broadcasts are scheduled.
