Apple is bringing live baseball to the Vision Pro for the first time, with four Friday Night Baseball matchups set to stream in the headset’s 180-degree spatial video format starting August 28.

The slate opens with the Boston Red Sox at the New York Yankees, a rivalry night that will test how convincing a baseball broadcast looks floating around a viewer’s living room. September brings the Los Angeles Angels at the Pittsburgh Pirates, the San Diego Padres at the San Francisco Giants, and a September 18 finale between the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Paul Severino handles play-by-play, with Xavier Scruggs as analyst and Michelle Margaux reporting from the sidelines.

Apple is borrowing the playbook it used for the Los Angeles Lakers’ immersive NBA games earlier this year. Vision Pro owners with an Apple TV subscription can switch between multiple vantage points, pull up replays, and keep team lineups and live stats hovering in the space around the game.

Availability stretches across the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the UK. Fans who miss the live window can watch full game replays and highlight packages on demand in the Apple TV app on the headset.

The schedule gives the $3,499 headset a steady run of live sports while Apple’s rumored smart glasses remain a 2027 story, and it hands Major League Baseball an early foothold in spatial viewing ahead of next season. It is also one of the biggest live-sports commitments yet for Apple’s Immersive Video format, which has leaned on short films and concert specials since launch, and it arrives with no extra ticket price beyond the Apple TV subscription.
