New York Kicks Off Streaming Slate with Showdown Against Astros
The New York Mets are set to be a major presence on Apple TV+ this season, starting with their matchup against the Houston Astros on March 28. The game, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET, marks the second game of the regular season for both teams and is part of a doubleheader kicking off Apple TV+’s 2025 Friday Night Baseball slate.
A Heavy Streaming Presence for the Mets
Fans can expect to see the Mets on Apple TV+ multiple times throughout the first half of the season. Here’s the current lineup of their scheduled games:
- March 28 – at Houston Astros (8:00 p.m. ET)
- May 23 – vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (7:00 p.m. ET)
- June 20 – vs. Philadelphia Phillies (7:00 p.m. ET)
Alongside the Dodgers and Cardinals, the Mets are among the teams featured three times on Apple TV+ in the first half of the season. The San Diego Padres lead all teams with four scheduled appearances.
More National Exposure for the Mets
With high expectations following a deep playoff run in 2024, the Mets will be a frequent presence on nationally televised broadcasts beyond Apple TV+. Their 2025 schedule includes:
- Eight appearances on FOX
- At least four Sunday Night Baseball games on ESPN
- A Roku Sunday Leadoff appearance on May 11 vs. the Cubs
While the Roku game will likely be the Mets’ only appearance on that platform this season, Apple TV+ is set to be a significant part of their broadcast landscape.
How to Watch the Mets on Apple TV+
For those wondering whether they’ll need to pay extra to watch these games—the answer is yes. Apple TV+ requires a subscription, priced at $10 per month. However, fans can take advantage of a 7-day free trial, which may come in handy for those looking to catch the Mets-Astros game without committing to a full subscription.
With streaming services continuing to play a bigger role in sports broadcasting, the Mets’ presence on Apple TV+ is another sign of the evolving media landscape for MLB fans.
