2014 MLB on Fox Schedule

Major League Baseball on Fox has returned for its 19th season, but will see a shorter season than what we have been used to in the past. As opposed to airing games throughout the entire season, which FOX previously did from 2007-13, they have opted for fewer regular season inventory. 

Their coverage will kick off in mid-May and then run through the All-Star Game in Minneapolis on Tuesday, July 15, then will not return until September (starting on Saturday, September 6) and the run to the postseason. With the new television contract, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) will be carrying a number of games this season on Saturdays, including in doubleheaders with the Fox game. It represents a significant shift in the baseball TV landscape with less games on broadcast TV.

And some more big news is that the new lead Fox broadcast crew will be Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci in the wake of Tim McCarver's retirement. McCarver was the first and to this point only lead commentator Fox had from their debut in 1996.

So without further ado, the MLB on Fox schedule for 2014, along with announcers added all season long.
