For the second time this season, the Boston Red Sox won’t be playing on any conventional TV channels. That’s because Boston’s game against the Baltimore Orioles on May 27 will be part of another Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+.
Friday Night Baseball is a weekly feature that’s part of a new streaming deal with Apple TV+, which makes select games each week exclusive to the streaming platform. That means the game won’t be on NESN, ESPN, TNT, MLB Network, FOX or any other conventional TV channel.
Instead, the game is only available via streaming. That’s right, it’s the first Friday Night Baseball game of the season on Apple TV+.

Apple TV+ joined the sports streaming world this season with a major broadcasting deal with Major League Baseball that includes a weekly Friday Night Baseball broadcast exclusively on the app’s platform. The deal was promoted as a step forward for MLB to try and reach a younger audience. However, it does represent another hoop to jump through for existing fans who just want to sit down and watch the game.
This is the second of two streaming-exclusive games scheduled for the Red Sox so far. More games could be coming, as the league has only scheduled Friday Night Baseball games through the end of June.
