Overview
- The Yankees–Giants opener, streaming only on Netflix Wednesday at 8:05 p.m. ET from Oracle Park, features Max Fried against Logan Webb.
- Netflix holds a three‑year package worth about $60 million per year that also covers July’s Home Run Derby and August’s Field of Dreams game.
- The broadcast goes out worldwide in multiple languages with Matt Vasgersian on play‑by‑play, CC Sabathia and Hunter Pence in the booth, and Elle Duncan, Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols and Anthony Rizzo in studio.
- Because Netflix has exclusive rights, the game is not on national or local TV, so fans need a Netflix subscription to watch live, with radio options still available.
- Most other teams start Thursday and Friday on outlets such as NBC and MLB Network, as MLB tests event packaging that some hail for reach while others warn could further split audiences across platforms.
