Major League Baseball (MLB) and Facebook unveiled a newly expanded partnership for the 2018 MLB season, highlighted by a historic agreement to produce and broadcast one game every week to a global audience on Facebook.
This 25-game package of weekly broadcasts will be distributed exclusively on Facebook Watch in the United States via the MLB Live show Page.
In the U.S., the live video of these games will exclusively be accessible on Facebook Watch and will not be available on television or any other digital platforms such as MLB.TV and MLB At Bat. There will be no blackout restrictions in the U.S. as every game will be available to every person on Facebook in the U.S.
The following is the MLB on Facebook Watch schedule (subject to change; all times are Eastern):
