Philadelphia Phillies fans are in for a change this weekend as the games against the New York Mets will not be airing on NBC Sports Philadelphia. To catch the action, supporters will need to log into Apple TV+ for Friday night's matchup and tune in to ESPN for Sunday's game. The Phillies can clinch a playoff spot with a win on Friday at Citi Field, where the game will exclusively stream on Apple TV+. This will mark the third time this season that the Phillies appear on Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+'s subscription service.

On Friday night, the Phillies will face off against the New York Mets at 7:10 p.m., with Cristopher Sanchez (10-9, 3.24 ERA) starting for Philadelphia against David Peterson (9-2, 2.85 ERA) of the Mets. Viewers can enjoy the play-by-play commentary from Wayne Randazzo and Dontrelle Willis, while Heidi Watney brings live updates from Citi Field. Additionally, former MLB umpires Dale Scott and Brian Gorman will be on hand to analyze rules and reviews during the broadcast, providing an engaging viewing experience for fans.

For those wishing to catch the game on Apple TV+, a subscription is required, with a monthly fee currently set at $9.99. Apple TV+ is offering a two-month free trial for new and returning subscribers. Despite any complaints about streaming deals, partnerships between streaming platforms and sports leagues are becoming increasingly common. Apple's agreement with MLB is set to continue until 2028, guaranteeing viewers more digital access to their favorite games in the coming years.
