Overview
- Apple and Major League Baseball will stream four Friday Night Baseball games in Apple Immersive beginning with Red Sox at Yankees on August 28 and continuing weekly through September 18.
- The Immersive feed uses 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180° field of view, ambisonic microphones for Spatial Audio, and bespoke immersive graphics and replays to recreate a stadium‑like experience.
- Apple has assembled a dedicated commentary team for the Immersive telecasts led by Paul Severino with analyst Xavier Scruggs and sideline reporter Michelle Margaux.
- Vision Pro users in a defined set of countries can watch the live immersive streams and on‑demand replays through the Apple TV app at no extra per‑game charge as part of an Apple TV subscription priced at $12.99 per month in the U.S.
- The move builds on earlier Vision Pro sports trials, uses MLB’s multi‑year rights deal as a testing ground, and could increase device and subscription engagement even as high headset costs and added production complexity limit how quickly immersive broadcasts can scale.
