• Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst), & Tracy Wolfson (reporter) return for their ninth season together as the lead "NFL on CBS" team.

• Three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner J.J. Watt joins play-by-play commentator Ian Eagle and reporter Evan Washburn for a full schedule of games.

• Charles Davis joins play-by-play man Andrew Catalon, Super Bowl champion Jason McCourty, & reporter AJ Ross for his final season of NFL coverage before moving back to college football as the lead CFB analyst for CBS, beginning in 2026.

• Two-time Super Bowl champion Logan Ryan joins the "NFL on CBS" family for the first time, working select games as a game analyst.

• Returning Crews: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, & Tracy Wolfson; Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, & Melanie Collins; Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta & Aditi Kinkhabwala; Tom McCarthy & Ross Tucker

Hi, everyone! On Wednesday (July 30), our friends over at CBS Sports disclosed their on-air lineup for game broadcasts in 2025, which will be their 66th season as a NFL broadcaster (1956-1993 & 1998-present).

To start, play-by-play commentator Jim Nantz, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, & longtime sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson will reunite for the ninth straight team, leading CBS' deep announcing roster. In this role, Nantz, Romo, & Wolfson will commentate on the #1 game that CBS has each week, including the marquee 4:25 PM (ET) games, Thanksgiving Day (Chiefs vs. Cowboys on Thursday, November 27), a AFC Wild Card playoff game, a AFC Divisional Playoff game, and finally, the AFC Championship Game.

Furthermore, a respected and admired former player makes the jump to calling games on a full-time basis. J.J. Watt, who received five Pro Bowl selections during his future Hall of Fame career, transitions from studio work to game analysis. Watt is accompanied by veteran multi-sport play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle and established reporter Evan Washburn. Watt is taking the place of Eagle's former partner, Charles Davis, who is being downgraded from the No. 2 crew to the No. 4 crew (alongside Andrew Catalon, Jason McCourty, & A.J. Ross) to get ready for his return to the college football world in 2026, as he will be replacing the retiring Gary Danielson as the #1 CFB on CBS analyst. 

In addition, CBS is proud to welcome two-time Super Bowl champion Logan Ryan to the "NFL on CBS" team. Ryan, who initially joined CBS Sports in 2024 as a college football analyst, is now taking his incredible talent to the NFL booth, working select games for the network.

Besides a few tweaks here and there, the NFL on CBS powers ahead to the 2025 seasons with veteran and seasoned broadcast teams. Four of the top six crews are returning from the 2024 season (sans the Eagle & Catalon crews), including Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, & Tracy Wolfson (No. 1 crew); Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, & Melanie Collins (No. 3 crew); Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta & Aditi Kinkhabwala (No. 5 crew); Tom McCarthy & Ross Tucker (No. 6 crew). It should be mentioned that McCarthy & Tucker will be joined on the sidelines by a rotating reporter, including Amanda Balionis and Tiffany Blackmon, throughout the year.

Gene Steratore enters his eighth year as the NFL Rules Analyst for CBS Sports.

MLB on Fox: On Deck | Two respected franchises clash in a marquee interleague series from Boston's Fenway Park as Shohei Ohtani and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers lock horns with Alex Bregman and the Boston Red Sox | Saturday, July 26 at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox

Monday, July 21, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include:

• To conclude the month of July, Fox once again steps on the field for "Baseball Night in America" on Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET). Viewers will be treated to one of two game matchups: Dodgers at Red Sox, or Guardians at Royals.

• Legendary Brands Tussle in Beantown: This contest certainly has Fox's attention! Will Smith and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers participate in this exciting interleague matchup against Roman Anthony and the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

• AL Central Battle in Kansas City: Guardians-Royals: Teams looking to make a playoff push go head-to-head in Kansas City, when Carlos Santana and the Cleveland Guardians travel to Kauffman Stadium for divisional play against Salvador Perez and the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox.

Do you feel the post-All-Star Break push? I do. Anyways, we welcome you back to another edition of "MLB on Fox: On Deck", where we talk about the games that FOX Sports televises weekly. This week, we tackle the final Saturday of July. Fox hopes that their lineup has you tuning in and checking the action out on the field. As a quick aside, this will be the last week for a while that regional coverage will be seen on the Fox broadcast network. With the Braves vs. Reds set to be nationally televised next weekend, the next time Fox will split games across the United States is Saturday, August 9 (Cubs-Cardinals, Phillies-Rangers). Just keep that in the back of your mind.

On Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET), our friends over at Fox Sports begin their weekly Saturday "Baseball Night in America" coverage. This weekend, Fox will distribute two contests to various stations nationwide. In one matchup, Freddie Freeman and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers make a long journey out East for a showdown with Carlos Narváez and the Boston Red Sox, as we have a 2018 World Series re-match on our hands. The other game features two AL Central foes as José Ramírez and the Cleveland Guardians clash with Bobby Witt Jr. and the Kansas City Royals. Which game will Fox broadcast in your local market, and who's set to narrate the action? Please keep reading for more information.

Folks, we are blessed with this Saturday night affair from Fenway Park in Boston! Mookie Betts and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers continue their East Coast road swing against Ceddanne Rafaela and the Boston Red Sox in a 2018 World Series re-match on Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. Unless the teams meet in the World Series, the Red Sox & Dodgers only meet once per season, and this weekend is the selected timeframe for this series to unfold. Last year, Los Angeles swept Boston in a three-game series. Could we see Red Sox vs. Dodgers as the 2025 World Series matchup? Maybe. In the past 16 matchups, the Red Sox have recorded wins in 13 of them. Of course, the Red Sox grabbed 10 consecutive wins before the All-Star Break. This in-season turnaround has provided the Red Sox with a much-needed boost, as the team is focused on an AL Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are experiencing a mid-July nosedive, losing 10 games in a 12-game stretch. Obviously, I am not concerned about this whatsoever. When it matters most, Andy Pages and the Dodgers will be in the thick of things. Besides, the Dodgers still have first place to themselves in the National League West. 🎤 Joe Davis calls play-by-play for Dodgers vs. Red Sox, alongside analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz and Emmy Award-winning reporter Ken Rosenthal.

A crucial American League Central matchup serves as the centerpiece at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. Bo Naylor and the Cleveland Guardians meet Maikel Garcia and the Kansas City Royals in a game that both teams desperately need for their American League Wild Card pursuits on Saturday, July 26, at 7:00 PM (ET) on Fox. For the third time this year, the Guardians & Royals are meeting each other. The Guardians have nabbed four victories in six tries vs. the Royals this season. With both clubs under the .500 mark, this becomes an important series for both sides as the postseason race continues to sizzle here during the summer months. As you guys know, both Cleveland and Kansas City qualified for the postseason in 2024, and they hope to do it again in 2025. Cleveland has opened up their second half pretty well, winning three of four games since the Midsummer Classic break. Since the All-Star Break, Kansas City has split four games vs. the Marlins & Cubs, respectively. Guardians 3B José Ramírez leads the team with 20 home runs. Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr. has scored 60 runs for the club thus far. 🎤 In the booth, longtime play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert teams up with analyst Eric Karros to call Guardians vs. Royals.

- Note: This was the second game of a day-night doubleheader (Friday's game was rained out).

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include:

• Fresh off their 2025 MLB All-Star Game presentation, FOX Sports resumes its weekly MLB live game coverage with "Baseball Night in America" on Saturday, July 19, at 7:00 PM ET: Red Sox vs. Cubs - or - Cardinals vs. Diamondbacks.

• Red Sox, Cubs Meet In Exciting Interleague Game: Grab your popcorn 🍿! Fox will broadcast a riveting interleague clash from historic Wrigley Field in Chicago, as Ceddanne Rafaela and the Boston Red Sox take on Kyle Tucker and the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, July 19, at 7:00 PM ET (6:00 PM CT local in Chicago).

• Cardinals, Diamondbacks Combat in the Desert: Two National League clubs collide under the primetime spotlight as Victor Scott II leads the St. Louis Cardinals against Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, July 19 at 7:00 PM ET (4:00 PM MST local in Phoenix).

Hi, everybody! I hope you enjoyed Tuesday's All-Star Game in Atlanta! Also, this mini-break in the MLB schedule was very helpful for me, as I was able to take a few days off before publishing the next MLB on Fox: On Deck article! Anyway, it is great to be back writing articles about baseball ⚾.

With the All-Star week now behind us, the second half of the 2025 MLB Season becomes our primary focus as teams continue their drive towards a postseason berth. 

Fox returns to their traditional Saturday coverage this week, Saturday, July 19, with another exciting edition of "Baseball Night in America", beginning at 7:00 PM ET. This week, Fox is slated to regionalize two game matchups to stations across the country: Trevor Story and the sizzling Boston Red Sox engage in a duel with Michael Busch and the Chicago Cubs, or Willson Contreras and the St. Louis Cardinals travel to Arizona for a matchup against Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Which game will your local Fox station be broadcasting, and who's set to commentate the action? Continue reading this article to find out the answers.

A pair of 2025 MLB Postseason contenders oppose each other in Chicago as Roman Anthony and scorching hot Boston Red Sox, winners of ten straight games, go up against Pete Crow-Armstrong and the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs on Saturday, July 19, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. Saturday's matchup is the middle game of a three-game weekend series between two franchises with a rich history. For the Red Sox, they look to extend a stretch of terrific play on the field. Heading into the All-Star Break, Boston rattled off TEN straight wins, representing a remarkable turnaround that the club is experiencing right now. Due to Boston's recent play, they are only three games behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays for the American League East lead. As for the Cubs, Craig Counsell's ball club has its eyes transfixed on a potential run in October as the second half of the season starts. Entering this week's All-Star Break, the Cubs have a record of 57-39, good enough for first place in the National League Central. However, Jackson Chourio and the Milwaukee Brewers check in one game behind the Cubs, at 56-40. This means that the Cubs cannot take their foot off the gas pedal in their pursuit of staying in first place in the division. 🎤 Play-by-play announcer Adam Amin, analyst and 2005 World Series champion A.J. Pierzynski, fellow analyst and 2006 World Series champion Adam Wainwright, and Emmy Award-winning reporter Ken Rosenthal call Red Sox-Cubs live from Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.

Brendan Donovan and the St. Louis Cardinals open up their second half of their regular season schedule on the road at Chase Field in Phoenix, where they will encounter Geraldo Perdomo and the Arizona Diamondbacks in National League action on Saturday, July 19, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. Saturday's Cardinals-Diamondbacks game on Fox is the second game of a weekend set between St. Louis & Arizona. The D'Backs look for some redemption vs. the Cardinals, as Arizona was swept in a three-game series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis earlier this season. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is a key reason why St. Louis is in contention in mid-July. Marmol's unique ability to focus on winning while developing the younger players on the Cardinals roster is very commendable, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. The Cards trail San Diego by 1.5 GB for the final NL Wild Card spot while 6.5 GB behind the Cubs for the top spot in the NL Central. Meanwhile, for Torey Lovullo's Diamondbacks, things have been bumpy thus far for a franchise that is just two years removed from a World Series appearance. At the midway point of the season, the Diamondbacks have a subpar record of 47-50, which is nowhere near the record Arizona probably wants. The Diamondbacks are fourth in the NL West standings, behind the Dodgers, Padres, and Giants. Additionally, Arizona is 5.5 GB behind San Diego for NL Wild Card #3. The Diamondbacks have plenty of work to do if they want to return to postseason play following a one-year absence. 🎤 Play-by-play commentator Jason Benetti joins analyst Eric Karros to call Cardinals-Diamondbacks live from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

This week's MLB on Fox: On Deck, highlights include:

• Fox regionally televises a pair of matchups on Saturday, July 12, live in primetime, on this week's edition of Baseball Night in America (7:30 PM ET): Rangers vs. Astros or Phillies vs. Padres. Check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information.

• Lone Star Showdown: The two MLB clubs that play in the state of Texas meet under the lights as Jake Burger and the Texas Rangers take on Mauricio Dubón and the Houston Astros on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox.

• Phillies-Padres: NL Contenders Clash in San Diego: Bryson Stott and the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies forge ahead with a week-long West Coast trip against Fernando Tatís Jr. and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox.

We have reached the final week of play before next week's MLB All-Star Game from Atlanta. Fox will televise their final "Baseball Night in America" before the Midsummer Classic this Saturday, July 12, at 7:30 PM ET. Saturday's coverage is pushed back a half-hour due to IndyCar airing on the network beforehand. Two games are set to be regionally televised on Fox. Your game choices are as follows: Wyatt Langford and the Texas Rangers visit Yainer Diaz and the Houston Astros, or a National League matchup from San Diego, as Edmundo Sosa and the Philadelphia Phillies take on Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres. Which game will you be receiving this Saturday and who will be on the call? Read on to find out the answers.

Two American League West rivals hit the field on "Baseball Night in America" as Adolis García and the Texas Rangers battle Christian Walker and the Houston Astros in the "Lone Star Series" on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox. The Rangers & Astros are scheduled to meet 13 teams during the 2025 season, with the teams splitting a four-game set at Globe Life Field in May. Remember, Texas & Houston met in the 2023 ALCS, with the Rangers defeating the Astros in seven games. Obviously, the Astros aren't concerned about anyone else in their division, as they hold a seven-game lead in the division entering play this week. For the Rangers, they are looking to move up the American League standings. Texas finds themselves four games back of the final American League Wild Card spot. Rangers SP Jacob deGrom is healthy again and he is providing the Rangers with a great season on the mound. deGrom ranks third in the AL with a 2.13 ERA. Meanwhile, Astros manager Joe Espada is scheduled to give SP Framber Valdez the starting nod on Friday and SP Hunter Brown the starting nod on Saturday. 🎤  Adam Amin (play-by-play) calls Phillies-Padres live from San Diego's Petco Park alongside 2006 World Series Champion Adam Wainwright (analyst) and Emmy-Award winner Ken Rosenthal (reporter).

A couple of National League clubs currently in contention square off as Brandon Marsh and the Philadelphia Phillies clash with Luis Arraez and the San Diego Padres on Saturday, July 12 at 7:30 PM ET on Fox. For the second straight week, Philadelphia & San Diego are facing off against each other in a head-to-head situation. Last week, the two clubs played a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, with Philadelphia grabbing two of the three games. As most of you know, the Phillies & Padres played in the 2022 NLCS, with the Phillies eliminating the Padres in five games (two-time NL MVP Bryce Harper had a little something to do with that 😉). Philadelphia is involved in a tight divisional battle with Brandon Nimmo and the New York Mets over in the NL East, as the Phillies hold a slim game and a half lead as this week starts. As for the Padres, consistency is a key. The Padres have split their previous ten games (5-5), but is fresh off a series victory over the Rangers this past weekend. San Diego is currently tied with the Giants for the final NL Wild Card Spot. Pitching is a strength for the Phillies. Three of their pitchers, Ranger Suárez (1.99), Zack Wheeler (2.17) & Cristopher Sánchez (2.68), have a ERA under three. Padres RF and three-time All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr. leads his squad in home runs (15) and on-base percentage [OBP] (.355). 🎤 Experienced play-by-play commentator Jason Benetti joins analyst and former National League Rookie of the Year Eric Karros for Fox's live broadcast of Rangers-Astros from Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" (Saturday, July 5) highlights include:

• A Full Day Of Baseball On Fox: Fox is the place to be this Saturday, July 5, as the network presents a RARE "Fox Saturday Baseball" tripleheader on FS1 (4:00 PM ET & 10:00 PM ET) and Fox (7:00 PM ET).

• Subway Series On FS1: Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees face their New York rival, the New York Mets, led by Francisco Lindor in another installment of the "Subway Series" on Saturday, July 5 at 4:00 PM ET on Fox.

• Marquee Matchup Made For Hollywood: Cam Smith and the Houston Astros do battle against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers as two first place clubs meet in a high-profile contest on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

• ALDS Rematch from Cleveland: The teams that met in this year's American League Division Series clash on "Baseball Night in America" as Parker Meadows and the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers visit Carlos Santana and the Cleveland Guardians in a underappreciated divisional confrontation on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

• Seeing Black & Blue In The Emerald City: FS1 is your home for some Saturday late night baseball as Bryan Reynolds and the Pittsburgh Pirates head out West for a matchup against J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 5 at 10:00 PM ET on FS1.

Welcome back to "MLB on Fox: On Deck"! This week, we will guide you through a jam-packed lineup of baseball on the FOX Sports family of networks. "Fox Saturday Baseball" is SCORCHING hot with four games on Saturday, July 5, including Yankees vs. Mets (4:00 PM ET on FS1), Astros vs. Dodgers (7:00 PM ET on Fox), Tigers vs. Guardians (7:00 PM ET on Fox) & Pirates vs. Mariners (10:00 PM ET on FS1). There is plenty of material to review before Saturday's games begin, so let us dive right in.

FS1 will bookend Saturday's tripleheader with the game presentation of Yankees vs. Mets at 4:00 PM ET followed by the Pirates vs. Mariners game at 10:00 PM ET (after Fox's "Baseball Night in America" coverage concludes).

Trent Grisham and the AL East-leading New York Yankees compete in the annual "Subway Series" against Juan Soto and the New York Mets on Saturday, July 5 at 4:00 PM ET on FS1. Look, I wish I could say that both teams are entering this "Subway Series" as some of the hottest teams around Major League Baseball. Sadly 😢, I can't do that. The Yankees have dropped 11 of their 17 games, dating back to a series sweep by their arch-rival Red Sox in mid-June. The Mets seem to be in crisis mode right now after an inexcusable 3-13 stretch going back to June 13. In fact, the Mets have been SWEPT in three of their past five series (Tampa Bay, Atlanta & Pittsburgh this past weekend). Long story short, both teams need to figure it out quickly. 🎙 Versatile play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert and analyst Tom Verducci call Yankees vs. Mets live from Citi Field in Flushing, New York.

At 7:00 PM ET, Fox will regionalize two game matchups for broadcast across the country for this week's edition of "Baseball Night in America". The majority of the country will receive the Astros vs. Dodgers game while other viewers will be watching the Tigers vs. Guardians game. Please either check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information.

In what could be described as a "must-see summer feature", Isaac Paredes and the Houston Astros confront Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a re-match of the 2017 World Series on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. This weekend marks the only time that the Astros & Dodgers will be playing head-to-head during the 2025 regular season. Both clubs possess 50 or more wins heading into this week. The Dodgers have won 12 of their 15 games to open up a seven-game lead in the NL West while the Astros have posted an impressive 14-4 record since June 11. Houston is receiving excellent seasons from CF Jake Meyers and SS Jeremy Peña. Obviously, Los Angeles has lots of depth and manager Dave Roberts can put out a high-quality lineup every night. 🎙 The MLB on Fox lead commentary team of Emmy-Award winning play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz, & Emmy-Award winning reporter Ken Rosenthal provide commentary for Astros vs. Dodgers live from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

Javier Báez and the top team in the American League Central, the Detroit Tigers, take their incredible talent to the "Baseball Night in America" stage against José Ramírez and the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. The Tigers & Guardians are set to play for the second time this year, with Cleveland taking three out of four games vs. Detroit back in late-May over at Comerica Park in Detroit. The Tigers are not complaining about their MASSIVE 11 1/2 game lead in the American League Central entering this week. For the Guardians, their focus is on the American League Wild Card hunt, as they are currently 2.5 games behind Julio Rodríguez's Seattle Mariners for the last American League Wild Card spot. The Tigers are fueled by LF Riley Greene, who leads the club in batter average at .296. Guardians 3B José Ramírez has been a longtime member of the Indians/Guardians franchise, having played there since his Major League Baseball debut back in 2013. Ramírez is a leader and somebody that the Guardians value very highly. 🎙 Jason Benetti (play-by-play) & Adam Wainwright (analyst) - a 2006 World Series champion - will call Tigers vs. Guardians live from Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Two clubs that play at opposite ends of the United States get together when Ke'Bryan Hayes and the Pittsburgh Pirates provide the opposition for Randy Arozarena and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, July 5 at 10:00 PM ET on FS1. The Pirates & Mariners engage in their only series against each other this season from Seattle's T-Mobile Park this weekend. FS1 is televising the middle game of this three-game series. Safe to say, these teams are in two different parts of the standings in their respective leaders. In the American League playoff picture, J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners are in a really good spot, as the franchise currently holds the final Wild Card spot (alongside the Rays & Blue Jays). Flipping things towards the National League playoff picture, Andrew McCutchen's Pittsburgh Pirates are nowhere near a playoff spot, trailing the Cubs by 14 games for the NL Central lead and the Cardinals by 11 games for Wild Card #3. Pittsburgh seriously needs to get on a roll with the All-Star Break approaching to have any chance whatsoever to compete for at least a Wild Card berth. For the Mariners, a series victory here is vital for retaining an American League Wild Card spot. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Connor Onion teams up with analyst and former National League Rookie of the Year winner Eric Karros to broadcast Pirates vs. Mariners remotely.

Each team is guaranteed five games at the 2025 NBA Summer League (NBA 2K26 Summer League), with the first four games scheduled from Thursday, July 10, through Thursday, July 17. After these four games, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs, beginning with a semifinal doubleheader on Saturday, July 19 at 4:00 PM ET and 6:00 PM ET on ESPN. The winners of the two semifinal games will play in the championship game on Sunday, July 20, at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN.

The four postseason teams and their seeding for these matchups will be based on winning percentage in each squad's first four NBA Summer League games.

MLB on Fox: On Deck | Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies battle Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves in a NL East showdown on "Baseball Night in America" (or Cubs-Astros) | Saturday, June 28 at 7:00 PM ET on Fox

Sunday, June 22, 2025

This week's "MLB on Fox: On Deck" highlights include (Mariners-Rangers: FS1, 4:00 PM ET | Phillies-Braves or Cubs-Astros: Fox, 7:00 PM ET):

• Double the Action: With summer officially upon us, Fox's MLB coverage is heating up with another presentation of "Fox Saturday Baseball" on Saturday, June 28 - Mariners vs. Rangers at 4:00 PM ET on FS1 followed by regional coverage of Phillies vs. Braves and Cubs vs. Astros at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

• Divisional Faceoff: J.P. Crawford and the Seattle Mariners participate in an American League West showdown vs. Corey Seager and the Texas Rangers on Saturday, June 28, at 4:00 PM ET on FS1.

• The Battle Within In The NL East: Alec Bohm and the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies travel south to tangle with Matt Olson and the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

• Pivotal Interleague Clash in HTown: Two first-place clubs enter a critical late-June series when Ian Happ and the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs hit the road against Christian Walker and the American League West-leading Houston Astros on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox.

Folks, we are almost midway through the 2025 MLB Season! Time flies by very quickly, huh? "Fox Saturday Baseball" returns this Saturday (June 28) with a doubleheader on FS1 and Fox. Let me set the scene ahead of Saturday's schedule of games.

FS1 gets our Saturday baseball coverage going at 4:00 PM ET with a matchup inside the American League West. Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners continue their road trip against Jonah Heim and the Texas Rangers. This is the third time this season that Seattle & Texas are playing each other. The Mariners swept the Rangers in a three-game series in April and took two of three games in a May series at Globe Life Field. Both teams are staring at the first-place Houston Astros in the American League West. The Mariners are clinging to a Wild Card spot in the American League while the Rangers look to climb the American League Wild Card standings to set up a potential second-half push for a postseason berth. Mariners C Cal Raleigh leads the league with 32 home runs. Rangers SS Josh Smith ranks first on the club with 34 runs scored. 🎙 Kevin Kugler (play-by-play) and Tom Verducci (analyst) announce Saturday's FS1 Mariners-Rangers game remotely.

After the Mariners vs. Rangers game, Fox takes over the airwaves with this week's edition of "Baseball Night in America", beginning at 7:00 PM ET. As previously mentioned, Fox will have regional coverage of two games this Saturday night - Phillies vs. Braves or Cubs vs. Astros (please check your local listings or the bottom of this article for additional information).

A pair of longtime National League East rivals will be featured when Johan Rojas and the Philadelphia Phillies take on Marcell Ozuna and the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. The Phillies and Braves are facing off for the third time this season, with the series currently tied at 3-3. The Braves won a series in April down in Atlanta (2-1), while the Phillies returned the favor with a series victory in late May in South Philadelphia (2-1). At this point, the National League East is a two-team race, as the Phillies and Mets are competing for the division lead, while Atlanta sits in third place. The Phillies feel confident as they begin a week-long road trip through Houston and Atlanta, following a weekend series win over their divisional rival, the Mets. Although Ozzie Albies and the Braves are not where they want to be in the standings, they could impact the top of the NL East with this weekend's series. 🎙 Adam Amin (play-by-play) calls Phillies-Braves alongside Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) and Emmy-Award winning reporter Ken Rosenthal (reporter).

It's shaping up to be a heavyweight fight in Houston as Justin Turner and the Chicago Cubs face off against Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros, two division leaders clashing in an important interleague game, on Saturday, June 28, at 7:00 PM ET on Fox. These clubs will take the field together for the first time this year. Last season, the Cubs swept the Astros in a three-game series at Wrigley Field. The Astros are seeking revenge against the Cubs during this upcoming series. As they enter this week, both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, making this series critically important as they aim to maintain their first-place standings with the All-Star Break approaching. Following an 18-9 record in May, Craig Counsell and the Cubs have experienced some regression, going 10-9 in June. Jeremy Peña and the Astros have spent 23 days leading the American League West this year. This weekend, Houston strives to increase that total. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert (play-by-play) and 2005 World Series champion AJ Pierzynski (analyst) will team up for Fox's Cubs-Astros broadcast on Saturday.
