For Yankees fans to watch the game, a Prime video membership is required and the games that air on the streaming service are a mix of Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday games. The first game scheduled to air on Amazon Prime is the Bombers’ April 4 game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The deal replaced what used to be a package of games that were broadcast on over-the-air channel WPIX-TV. The Yankees’ regular broadcast crew is part of the Streaming only games.
The news likely won’t sit well with some Yankees fans or baseball fans in general, who have been hit over the head with additional costs in recent years to watch all 162 games of their favorite teams. I’m addition to Amazon, a Yankees fan would need to pay for Apple+ and Peacock along with a traditional sports TV package to watch every game this season.
However, it is another sign of the changing times for sports broadcasting that has seemed to veer more and more into streaming. Major League Soccer is in the first year of a broadcast rights deal with Apple+ that is streaming only.
