This is a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

What does this mean, great question! We have all the answers for you below but in short, you must watch the game on Apple TV+.
While this is less than ideal for a lot of viewers, the Apple TV+ broadcast does have one of the better features when it comes to watching professional sports.
Apple TV and Major League Baseball are once again partnering together to bring Apple TV+’s Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders to the masses. Beginning on April 4, Apple TV+ will be the exclusive home to two MLB games every Friday night. As in years past, the Apple TV+ broadcast will feature on-screen advanced analytics and stats, as well as announcers from both participating clubs. The current schedule runs from the second full weekend of the 2025 Major League Baseball regular season through the end of June with additional games being added.
What does this mean for the Philadelphia Phillies?
As of now, the Phillies have two games scheduled for Friday Night Baseball, April 3’s showdown against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and June 20 against the New York Mets. Both games will emanate from Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia.
