Apple TV Announces September MLB Schedule With Apple Vision Pro Support

Apple TV has announced its plans for Friday Night Baseball for the month of September, with baseball fans in 60 countries able to watch two games each week. Apple also announced new support for the Apple Vision Pro, with some games available with 3D coverage.

The schedule kicks off with an August 28 matchup between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees and ends on September 18 with the Philadelphia Phillies taking on the New York Mets while the San Francisco Giants play the Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, the new Apple Vision Pro support will be of most interest to baseball-loving headset owners. Only three of the month’s games will not support the Apple Vision Pro.

Viewers with an Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV subscription in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, and the U.S. will be able to take part.

For the first time, baseball fans can take in all the action of “Friday Night Baseball” live in Apple Immersive on Apple Vision Pro, leveraging 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view. On August 28, viewers with Vision Pro will experience the iconic Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry from unique camera angles that place viewers right in the game, immersed in the drama of each at-bat, the celebrations in the dugout after a big hit, close plays at the outfield wall, and more.

Supported games will include “bespoke commentary from Paul Severino (play-by-play), Xavier Scruggs (analyst), and Michelle Margaux (sideline reporter); dedicated replays; and an immersive graphics package that includes team lineups and stats floating in the viewer’s space.”
