FOX Set to Return to MLB Coverage for 24th Straight MLB Season
FOX to Broadcast Historic First MLB London Game Ever Between the Yankees and Red Sox on Saturday, June 29th (1:00 PM ET)
FOX to be Home of "Baseball Night in America", the 2019 MLB All-Star Game from Cleveland & 2019 World Series presented by YouTube TV
FOX to start MLB coverage on Saturday, May 18th with regional BNIA coverage at 7:00 PM: Cubs-Nationals, Brewers-Braves or Astros-Red Sox
FOX to debut new Thursday Night windows in September
FOX, the home of Major League Baseball since the 1996 season, will return for more coverage of America's pastime during the 2019 season. This season will be the 24th straight MLB season that the FOX broadcast network has provided coverage of the MLB. Just like the past 5 seasons (2014-2018), the FOX broadcast network will present a limited schedule of games. More on this in just a moment.
The FOX broadcast network will sign-on for another season with "Baseball Night in America" on the evening of Saturday, May 18th. Beginning at 7:00 PM ET, viewers can see one of three games: Milwaukee at Atlanta, Houston at Boston or Chicago Cubs at Washington. FOX will use the "BNIA" moniker for eight Saturday nights: May 18, May 25, June 1, June 8, June 22, July 29, July 6 & July 13.
On the afternoon of Saturday, June 29, FOX will go across the pond to showcase one's of baseball most intense rivalries with the inaugural MLB & MLB Present London Series 2019, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The network's exclusive broadcast will be both on FOX and FOX Deportes.
Once the BNIA coverage on Saturday nights comes to an end, FOX will debut two new game windows on Thursday, September 12th and Thursday, September 19th at 7 p.m., ET. These will be airing in the primetime window, thus the BNIA will be used for those broadcasts. FOX will regionalize two games on either night. Those matchups will be determined by FOX once those dates draw nearer. FOX will televise an afternoon window on Saturday, September 28th, the final Saturday of the regular season.
FOX will, in addition, be home of the 2019 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard from Cleveland's Progressive Field (Tuesday, July 9) and the 2019 World Series presented by YouTube TV (October) among other marquee regular season and postseason telecasts.
Now, what does the 2019 MLB on FOX schedule look like? FOX, as of now, is scheduled to carry 31 games this year. Which dates will your favorite MLB team appear (or national team) get some national recognition? Read on to find out.

ReplyDeleteI wish Dan Hellie would call a game Len Kasper is awful for Fox not the Cubs network.
ReplyDeleteI am curious why you think he is awful on fox but not the cubs network
DeleteThe Cubs vs Cardinals game has been moved to an afternoon game due to game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final so it won’t be airing on Fox.

Shockingly Brian Anderson called the brewers game on Fox considering he should stick to turner sports the brewers network and CBS I don’t see how they would put him there.
ReplyDeleteHey Tamir I can see Brandon Gaudin calling the Dodgers vs Orioles game because he’ll be in Baltimore calling the Ravens game on Sunday the Phillies vs Mets game that one is wide open but Brandon would be a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteYou probably mean Braves vs Phillies that’s wide open.
ReplyDeleteBut yea Brandon would be a good fit to do the Dodgers vs Orioles game!
