• "Friday Night Baseball" begins the third season on Friday, March 29 with a pair of games: New York Yankees at Houston Astros & St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers

• The 2024 season is the first season that I will keep track of these broadcasts here on the blog (so I hope you enjoy this new feature here on the website).

Batter up! ⚾ For the third straight season, Apple and Major League Baseball (MLB) are teaming up to televise a weekly Friday night doubleheader for the subscribers of Apple TV+. Fans in 60 countries and regions have access to two signature matchups over 26 weeks without any broadcast restrictions whatsoever (keep in mind that local broadcasters aren't allowed to televise these games, as Friday Night Baseball is a exclusive national broadcast only).

"Friday Night Baseball" premieres for the 2024 season on Friday, March 29, with some of the league's most noteworthy talent set to take the field. At 8 p.m. ET, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees take on their longtime nemesis in the American League, the Houston Astros. Later that night, at 10 p.m. ET, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and the Los Angeles Dodgers play host to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Apple and MLB announced the schedule for the first half of the 2024 season, with game selections announced from Friday, March 29 through Friday, June 28 (these games will be posted below).

Two broadcast teams will once again compromise the "Friday Night Baseball" game announcing roster this season. One broadcast team has Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst) & Heidi Watney (sideline reporter). Another broadcast team has Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst) & Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter). The weekly game assignments for these crews will be shared on a weekly basis, so pay special attention to these announcements.

In addition to the two broadcasting teams, former MLB umpires Ted Barrett, Brian Gorman and Dale Scott break down the calls and the rules, if needed, during each week's slate of broadcasts.

Lauren Gardner (host) is set to lead Apple TV+'s pre and postgame coverage, alongside former MLB player and current analyst Xavier Scruggs, and baseball journalist Russell Dorsey. On Friday, March 29, the "Friday Night Baseball" pregame show previewing the Yankees at Astros and Cardinals at Dodgers game will emanate from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, featuring interviews with key players, and much more. Throughout the season, the pregame show for the Friday night doubleheader will take place from various MLB stadiums across the league, including Friday, June 3 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and Friday, July 7 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York.

"Friday Night Baseball" is produced by the Emmy-Award winning production team over at the MLB Network in partnership with Apple's live sports production team, bringing baseball fans a unrivaled viewing experience every single Friday night.

I am so excited to bring you the Apple TV+ national broadcast schedule for the first time! Let's have a wonderful first season documenting these broadcasts together!

The national television schedule is attached below, with announcer assignments to be filled in throughout the season, along with any game updates.

• First-ever MLB at Rickwood Field pays tribute to the legacy of The Negro Leagues and Birmingham’s Iconic Ballpark.

• FOX Sports celebrates its silver (25th) anniversary of televising the MLB All-Star Game with live coverage of the 2024 MLB All-Star Game from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday, July 16, at 8:00 PM ET (7:00 PM CT)

• FS1 enters its 11th (!!) season of televising MLB games (boy, where has time gone?!)

Batter up! As the 29th season of FOX Sports’ Major League Baseball nears us, as the cold winter months progress, the network revealed its full schedule on Wednesday (January 10) for the upcoming 2024 MLB regular season - featuring traditional divisional rivalries, an international game, and a special edition game added to the slate.

The network is scheduled to start regular-season coverage on Saturday, March 30, with three must-see contests, beginning with a showdown in Philadelphia as Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves visit Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies at 4:00 PM ET on FS1. Braves-Phillies marks the advent of FS1’s 11th (!!) year of televising MLB games. Later that night, regionalized action goes to primetime as the New York Yankees travel to Minute Maid Park for a battle with the Houston Astros, and the San Francisco Giants lock horns with the divisional foe San Diego Padres, with both games being scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on FOX.

FOX Sports’ signature Baseball Night in America program, featuring regionalized primetime broadcasts, returns on Saturday, May 4 (Mariners vs. Astros and Mets vs. Rays, both at 7:00 PM ET).

2024 Season Highlights:

• A longtime rivalry in the National League is set to be renewed across the pond as Francisco Lindor and the New York Mets tangle with Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies during the first game of the 2024 MLB World Tour: London Series. The action at London Stadium in London begins on Saturday, June 8, at 1:00 PM ET on FOX.

• Following several notable offseason signings, the highly anticipated interleague series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees makes its appearance on Baseball Night in America on Saturday, June 8, at 7:30 PM ET on FOX as Shohei Ohtani and his new team face off against Juan Soto and the Bronx Bombers.

• In the latest installment of special regular-season games, MLB at Rickwood Field pays tribute to The Negro Leagues and its greatest living player, National Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays. The oldest professional ballpark in the United States, and the former home site of the Birmingham Black Barons, is set to provide the backdrop to a historic matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, June 20, at 7:00 PM ET on FOX.

• FOX Sports returns to the state of Texas (fresh off the Rangers’ World Series championship last season) as baseball’s best players meet in the annual Midsummer Classic (2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by MasterCard) on Tuesday, July 16 at 8:00 PM ET on FOX. FOX celebrates their 25th year of televising the All-Star Game this year.

The full 2024 MLB on FS1 schedule is attached below, with a link to the FOX schedule provided as well. Announcers will be provided regularly throughout the season, with any game updates or changes posted/communicated to you guys.

2023 NFL on CBS and NFL on Fox Broadcast & Market Listings Report | Week 18 | Sunday, January 7, 2024 (Final one of the season!)

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love address the media during a press conference. (PackersNews.com)

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year!!! 🎆 I hope that 2024 is off a great start for you and your family/friends. On this first Sunday in January (January 7), the final weekend (Week 18) of the 2023 NFL season is scheduled to take place.

And needless to say, plenty is still on the table for many teams across the National Football League as the playoffs are slated to begin next Saturday, Saturday, January 13.

Plus, for the fourteenth straight year (2010-present), divisional matchups are once again slated to close out regular season play as divisional rivalries are renewed here in Week 18.

Longtime Dallas Cowboys head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Tom Landry once said, "Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan."

I completely agree with Coach Landry here. Every single team still in playoff contention is trying to fulfill a goal: win a Super Bowl championship 🏆 and call yourself a Super Bowl champion. As of right now, nine teams have clinched spots in the postseason (Dolphins, Chiefs, Browns, Ravens, 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles, Rams & Lions) with five spots remaining open as we enter the final regular season weekend.

During Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season, please consider some of the serious ramifications that this weekend's games have as the NFL lowers the curtain on its' 104th regular season of competition:

• 62% of teams (20 out of 32) remain the hunt for a Super Bowl 🏆, tied with the 2006 season for the most with one week left to play over the last four decades, since a record 22 teams were still alive back in 1982 (and of course, that was the strike-shortened season)
• Five playoff spots are still undesignated, the most entering the final week of regular season play since the 2020 season, when seven playoff spots were on the table entering that season's final week (Week 17).
• Four division champions have yet to be determined, the most entering the regular season finale since four divisions were yet to be locked down way back in 2014.

So tighten your belt buckles, because we are about to finish off the regular season! Furthermore, Super Bowl LVIII is Las Vegas is only 40 days away (or a little less than six weeks away)!

Highlights:

Check out this week's highlights below:

• * Week 18 Highlights (Sunday, January 7):

- A Jacksonville Jockey: Jacksonville Jaguars (9-7) linebacker Josh Allen and his squad travel to Nashville to meet up with Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans (5-11) in a key AFC South game on Sunday, January 7 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. As of right now, Jacksonville is involved in a three-way logjam for the AFC South championship and the AFC's No. 4 seed to go along with that. The good news: the Jaguars own the tiebreaker with the two other teams involved in this three way tie (Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts). The bad news: If Jacksonville were to lose this game, then the Texans-Colts winner (this game will be played on Saturday night), would take the AFC South title. Travis Etienne Jr. and his teammates obviously don't want to give up the division, so a win here against a very bad Titans team is a MUST for Jacksonville in order to clinch their second straight division championship. 🎙 The golden pipes of Kevin Harlan will provide play-by-play commentary on CBS, as Harlan works alongside game analyst Trent Green and sideline reporter Melanie Collins. 

- A Division Matchup Fit for Motown: Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions (11-5) play host to Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings (7-9) on Sunday, January 7 at 1:00 PM ET on FOX. These two NFC North teams tangle for the second time in three weeks. There is a lot on the line here. Amon-Ra St. Brown and his team play for either the No. 2 seed or the No. 3 seed, depending on what happens with DeMarcus Lawrence and the Cowboys (who play the Commanders at 4 p.m. ET on FOX). Camryn Bynum and the Vikings are fighting for their playoff lives, as Minnesota is hanging on by a thread in the playoff picture. The Vikings MUST come away with a victory to keep their postseason hopes alive, while a loss eliminates them entirely. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, three-time Super Bowl champion and analyst Daryl Johnston & reporter Pam Oliver make up FOX's broadcast team for this Week 18 matchup inside the NFC North.

- Green Bay's Golden Chance of Punching a Playoff Ticket: Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (8-8) host Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears (7-9) on Sunday, January 7 at 4:25 PM ET on CBS in a classic NFC North battle from Lambeau Field. Following last week's dominant 33-10 Sunday night win at Minnesota, the Packers now have a chance once again to clinch a spot in the postseason party. Last season, the Packers had a win and in scenario vs. the Lions, and the Packers squandered that chance. One year later, the Packers are faced with a similar circumstance. If Aaron Jones and the Packers handle their business, they will be heading for postseason play. However, if the Packers lose, that result coupled with a win by Minnesota, Seattle, and/or Tampa Bay + New Orleans, the Packers are done. Meanwhile, Montez Sweat and the Bears lead the league with 22 interceptions. The Bears look to spoil the day and potentially offer a major monkey wrench in Green Bay's postseason aspirations. 🎙 Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (reporter) will provide commentary on CBS.

- A Dallas Dash Towards the Division & Second Seed: Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (11-5) hit the road for the final 2023 regular season game against Curtis Samuel and the Washington Commanders (4-12) on Sunday, January 7 at 4:25 PM ET on FOX. In this battle between the NFC East rivals, the Cowboys have everything to play for while the Commanders look to end this season on a somewhat positive note. Tony Pollard and the Cowboys are playing for their second NFC East title in three years, and the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs (only behind San Francisco, who is the No. 1 seed and grabs the only first-round bye in the conference). Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is having a historic season for Dallas. CeeDee officially set the new season-single Cowboys record for receiving yards (1,651 receiving yards) and receptions (122 receptions) last Saturday in the 20-19 Cowboys Saturday night win vs. the Lions (yeah, the controversy at the end was pretty bad 😡), passing Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. Keep in mind that Dallas has won 16 straight games at their home venue (8-0 this season, 8-1 last season, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, dating back to Week 2 of the last season. If the Cowboys win the NFC East division title, that means they will have an opportunity next weekend to extend that streak during Wild Card weekend play. 🎙 The FOX broadcast will be handled by Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Greg Olsen (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) & Tom Rinaldi (reporter).
