Apple has made a new deal with Yahoo Sports aimed at “reminding everyone that Apple TV carries a bevy of live sports,” reports Variety.
Over the next two months, Yahoo Sports will stream alternate broadcasts of four Apple TV games: two MLB “Friday Night Baseball” games and two Major League Soccer matches. The alt-casts will stream for free across the Yahoo Sports website and app and feature unique camera angles provided by Apple TV.
However, as Variety notes, only the first two innings of the baseball games will be streamed by Yahoo Sports. As Apple noted in announcing the deal, one of the goals for the Yahoo Sports alt-casts will be “to help educate fans on how to watch Apple TV’s ‘Friday Night Baseball’ and MLS broadcasts.” Each Yahoo Sports alt-cast livestream will feature a direct link to the Apple TV app, where fans can subscribe to watch the main broadcast of the featured matchups — along with the platform’s full slate of games.”
