Monday, March 24, 2025

• Spring has Sprung: Fox resumes their time-honored tradition of televising Major League Baseball games during the traditional Opening Weekend of the MLB season with regional coverage on Saturday, March 29, beginning at 7:00 PM (ET): Mets vs. Astros or Braves vs. Padres. This follows FS1's presentation of the Twins vs. Cardinals game earlier in the day.

• MLB on Fox at 30!: Fox Sports kicks off its 30th MLB season this weekend, reaching an important milestone in the network's baseball coverage.

• H-Town is hot 🔥 with two 2024 MLB Postseason teams: The newly renamed Daikin Park in Houston plays host to two clubs looking to make it back to the postseason in 2025 as Francisco Lindor (pictured above) and the New York Mets wrap their three-game series against Jose Altuve and the defending AL West champion Houston Astros on Saturday, March 29 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

• All-Star ⭐ Talent Converges in San Diego: Three-time All-Star Ozzie Albies and the Atlanta Braves continue their four-game series at PETCO Park in San Diego vs. six-time All-Star Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, March 29 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

Welcome back, everybody! I hope you enjoyed the baseball offseason. As a side note, I miss putting together these regionalization articles weekly. I was so conditioned to do so during the football season, and ever since January (when the NFL's regular season ended), this blog really has not had much content to put out. However, the blog production is set to pick up starting this week with the arrival of the 2025 MLB season.

Once again, if you would like to read this type of content and if baseball is a sport that you care deeply about, then TamirMoore.com is the place for you as we begin another MLB season together. Every week, we will tackle articles surrounding Fox's regionalization of baseball games on Saturdays (and select Thursdays too in the late summer/early fall timeframe).

This Saturday, March 29, our friends over at Fox Sports will hit the air for the first time this season with live coverage of Major League Baseball. In fact, Saturday's primetime slate (starting at 7:00 PM ET) is the conclusion to what should be a fantastic Saturday of baseball coverage across the Fox Sports family of networks (Fox and FS1).

Fox's Saturday baseball coverage commences at 2:00 PM (ET) over on FS1 as Christian Vǻzquez and the Minnesota Twins participate in an interleague series with Nolan Arenado and the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. Saturday's contest is the second game of a three-game series between the clubs. Play-by-play announcer Connor Onion and game analyst Tom Verducci will provide commentary.

Then, flip over to Fox for some Saturday primetime baseball at 7:00 PM (ET). Most of the viewing audience will see new Mets acquisition Juan Soto lead his New York Mets into a primetime clash with Jeremy Peña and the reigning American League West champion Houston Astros from Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz, and field reporter Ken Rosenthal start their fourth season as Fox's lead MLB commentary team with their assignment of Mets vs. Astros this weekend.

Some of you will be going to San Diego to check out two teams that faced off against each other last year in the MLB playoffs. Michael Harris II and the Atlanta Braves pick up their West Coast road trip at PETCO Park for a Saturday night game against Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres, starting at 7:00 PM (ET) on Saturday night on Fox. Of course, Atlanta and San Diego matched up last season in the National League Wild Card Series, a series that San Diego swept in two games. 🎙 On the call for Saturday's Braves vs. Padres game on Fox will be play-by-play commentator Jason Benetti and analyst AJ Pierzynski.

Below, you will find links to this year's MLB on Fox Schedule and the 506 Sports Maps that my man JP Kirby will publish at some point this week. Hope these resources help you tremendously!

ESPN, which has televised WNBA games since the league's beginning in 1997, starts its 29th season of coverage on Saturday, May 17, with an expanded slate of studio and game coverage across several Disney platforms, including ABC, ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+. 

Throughout the 2025 season, ESPN will televise up to 55 WNBA games, starting with a 26-game regular season game package from mid-May through early September and continuing through the WNBA Playoffs presented by Google.

Before the game, the Liberty will raise their 2024 championship banner and host a ring ceremony. As you know, New York and Las Vegas have faced off against each other in the last two WNBA postseasons, during the 2023 WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV & the semifinal round of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google.

A'ja Wilson, the only current player in the WNBA to have three MVP awards, has a new running mate in Las Vegas in two-time WNBA champion Jewell Loyd. Loyd is scheduled to make her Las Vegas debut in this matchup following a decade-long run with the Seattle Storm.

2025 WNBA on CBS Schedule

The logo used for CBS Sports' WNBA broadcasts (dates unknown). (Twitter/X)

Thursday, March 20, 2025

• CBS Sports has revealed their 2025 WNBA schedule, with eight games slated on the broadcast network for the second straight year.

• This year, CBS presents a HISTORIC first when they present the WNBA's first ever regular season primetime game on network television - 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever visit 2024 WNBA All-Rookie member Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday, June 7 at 8:00 PM ET on CBS.

On Thursday, the WNBA officially disclosed their national broadcast schedule for the upcoming 2025 WNBA season. The 2025 WNBA season marks the 29th season of play for the predominant league for women's basketball. Of course, the WNBA is coming off a historic 2024 campaign and looks to continue that success this season. As you might expect, the WNBA on CBS schedule was announced today and we are going to talk about right here on this blog. There will be eight games presented on the CBS broadcast network over the course of the 2025 WNBA season.

The WNBA could not be more popular than right now with the excitement around the sport at an all-time high. Several metrics that document this include the highest attendance over two decades and the most watched season in nearly a quarter of the century! Folks, the WNBA is FINALLY getting the respect that it rightfully deserves.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert talked about the historic 2024 WNBA season and a little taste of what is to come this year. “The WNBA is coming off a 2024 season in which incredible basketball and countless memorable performances paved the way for the WNBA to deliver a record-breaking season,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “Now, with so much excitement around the player movement that took place this winter through free agency and trades, the WNBA’s broadcast and streaming partners in 2025 will spotlight the league’s superstars, rising stars and must-see matchups like never before.”

CBS will get their 2025 WNBA coverage underway on Saturday, May 24 at 1:00 PM (ET) when three-time WNBA champion Breanna Stewart and the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty clash with Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Then, two weeks later, CBS will broadcast a historic WNBA game on Saturday, June 7 when Elizabeth Williams and the Chicago Sky host DeWanna Bonner and the Indiana Fever at 8:00 PM (ET) at the United Center in Chicago. As I mentioned earlier, CBS's telecast of Sky-Fever game marks the first time that a WNBA matchup is scheduled for a primetime slot on network television. An additional Chicago-Indiana game will have a primetime spotlight on Saturday, August 9 when the same two clubs battle in Indianapolis.

Several teams will have three appearances on CBS this season, including the Chicago Sky, the reigning WNBA champions New York Liberty & and the Indiana Fever.

See below for CBS Sports' full 2025 WNBA schedule, with announcer assignments to be filled regularly throughout the season.

Hi everyone! With the start of the 2025 baseball season less than two weeks away, the time has come to begin tracking the schedules for another network that carries live MLB Baseball games. As you know, we already keep a close eye on the schedule and announcer pairings for FOX Sports (FOX and FS1), Turner Sports (TBS), ESPN, and Apple TV+.

And now, let's add another station to this mix — MLB Network. MLB Network has produced a package of games called the "MLB Network Showcase", which dates back to the beginning of the MLB Network in 2009. In a nutshell, these games are contests that MLB Network produces on its own and provides a "national" spin on them, in terms of the announcer assignments, score bugs, graphics, etc.

I would like to thank one of my loyal TamirMoore.com visitors Jonathan, who goes by the Blogger username AaronJudgeMVP29 for the inspiration to launch this article! I hope you guys enjoy it!

The Postseason - The journey towards the 2025 World Series:

The busy 2025 season on FOX reaches the grand finale with the network's presentation of the 2025 World Series presented by Capital One.
