With a start of another baseball season just a few weeks down the line, our friends over at Fox Sports released the schedule for their main broadcast network. Fox will air a reduced schedule once again this year, as it been the practice for the past 3 seasons. Fox will begin their 2017 coverage with a special primetime game on May 6th between the Yankees and Cubs from Wrigley Field in Chicago. Fox will then air 8 editions of Baseball Night in America on Saturday nights from late May to the All-Star Break. Fox will then air the 87th All-Star Game from Miami on July 11. From there, Fox will resume their coverage in September and cover the pennant chase action (FS1 will mostly carry games on weekends that Fox won't be carrying baseball). In all, Fox will air a grand total of 33 games.

Read on for a complete 2017 MLB on Fox Schedule, with game updates and announcer assignments filled in all season long.
