* FOX to present FIRST EVER (!!) tripleheader to lead off 2020 MLB season on Saturday, July 25

* FS1 returns for the seventh straight season carrying MLB games

* Schedule Highlighted by Exclusive Presentation of MLB at Field of Dreams presented by GEICO on Thursday, August 13

FOX Sports returns to the baseball diamond as America's Home for Baseball with the release on Monday of the complete regular season broadcast schedule. As the MLB on FOX celebrates their 25th season on the air, the network will continue to serve as a link between the baseball game and the fans. In addition, FOX Sports will again air Major League's Baseball marquee games and biggest moments, including FOX's 21st straight exclusive presentation of the World Series.

The network opens up its season on Saturday, July 25. FOX will televise their first-ever tripleheader. Pregame coverage kicks off FOX's coverage at 12:30 PM ET, bringing fans expert analysis and up-to-minute news from across the world of baseball. Game coverage begins at 1:00 PM ET as the Milwaukee Brewers meet the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in a NL Central clash. Game coverage continues at 4:00 PM ET as the San Francisco Giants take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in a California in-state divisional clash. Game coverage concludes at 7:00 PM ET as the New York Yankees take on the defending MLB champions, Washington Nationals, live at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.

Highlighted by 22 games on broadcast television, regionalized action returns to FOX on Thursday, July 30 with a pair of games featuring the Boston Red Sox at the New York Mets in addition to the Cleveland Indians at the Minnesota Twins at 7:00 PM ET. In addition, FOX in the past typically regionalized three games. But due to the Coronavirus pandemic, FOX will regionalize just two games this season.

In addition, select MLB games will also be televised on Fox Sports 1 (FS1), beginning on Saturday, July 25, when the Arizona Diamondbacks take on the San Diego Padres at 9:00 PM ET. FS1 starts off their seventh season carrying MLB games. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FOX begins the practice (that is still in effect today) of assigning FS1 commentators to work the contests remotely.

    Adam Amin is officially calling the Brewers-Cubs game this Saturday

    I also found this, although it is not confirmed. I would guess Smoltz with Buck but we will see who the other analysts will be.

    not sure if Ken Rosenthal is going to be working games yet or not ... if so, obviously Rosenthal would be working NYY/WSH.

    Ken Rosenthal will be with Buck and Smoltz for Saturday's Yankees-Nationals game, and this article also confirms that Buck, Smoltz, and Rosenthal will call the Field of Dreams matchup on August 13th. It is not clear whether they will be on site for that game or for any of their games, though I would be surprised if they are doing something different than ESPN is.

    1. It will be quite interesting to see which announcers FOX utilizes for these games. Joe Davis is on CFB duty this weekend; Adam Amin, Kevin Burkhardt & Joe Buck will have NFL duty this weekend; So these folks are OUT for sure!

    2. Here are my predictions for MLB on FOX this Saturday
      Astros vs Dodgers (Aaron Goldsmith, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
      Indians vs Twins (Chris Myers, A.J. Pierzynski, Jon Morosi)
      **Myers is calling Packers-Vikings from U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday so this in my opinion could be a great possibility
      Athletics vs Rangers [Game 2] (Dave Raymond & Ray Fosse)

      Delete
    3. Saturday, September 12th Predictions
      Astros vs Dodgers - 8:00 (Aaron Goldsmith, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal)
      Indians vs Twins - 8:00 (Chris Myers & A.J. Pierzynski)
      **Remember Chris Myers is calling Packers-Vikings in Week 1 of the NFL season.
