Subscribers can access games for $10/month through the Apple TV app on Android and Apple devices.

Additionally, fans will be getting some exclusive series! The first is a three-part docuseries on the 2024 World Series, Fight For Glory: 2024 World Series. It follows the Dodgers and Yankees’ path to last years championship.

Viewers will also have the ability to watch VIP: Yankee Stadium in immersive video on Apple’s ‘Vision Pro.’ It gives behind-the-scenes action of the historic site.

Is there a catch?

No (if we’re not talking about the games)! Subscribers will get instant access to these features at no additional cost.

With diverse programming and features, Apple TV+ is lined up to bring constant programming to fans all season.

The company has thought of purchasing the rights to Thursday Night Football and ESPN’s contract is up with MLB this season. It will be interesting to see how the future pans out between the two organizations.
