Fans in over 60 countries can watch two regular season Major League Baseball (MLB) matchups every Friday starting with the Minnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals on September 6, followed by the San Francisco Giants at San Diego Padres later that same evening.

The broadcasts will include fantastic announcers and analysts including Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst), Heidi Watney (sideline reporter), Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst), and Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter).
