For the second time this season, the Boston Red Sox are not playing on any conventional TV network. 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+ that brings select games each week exclusively to the streaming platform. This means the game will not be shown on NESN, ESPN, TNT, MLB Network, FOX or any other traditional television network.
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 broadcast deal with Major League Baseball that includes a weekly Friday night baseball show exclusively on the app’s platform. The deal was promoted as a step forward for MLB to try to reach a younger audience. However, it presents another hoop that existing fans who just want to sit down and watch the game have to jump through.
This is the second of two streaming-exclusive games planned for the Red Sox so far. More games could follow, as the league has scheduled only Friday night baseball games through the end of June.
