Apple and Yahoo Sports MLB and MLS broadcasting partnership

Overview

Yahoo Sports and Apple TV have entered a partnership to provide alternative broadcasts, or ‘altcasts’, for Major League Baseball (MLB) and Major League Soccer (MLS). These broadcasts will feature specialized hosts and unique viewing options, such as referee cameras and iPhone-shot footage.

As part of this technological integration in MLB, Apple is increasing the use of iPhone 18 Pro units during live games to capture angles that traditional equipment may struggle to reach. These devices will be deployed in compact locations like behind home plate and near bullpens to capture close-up action and stadium atmosphere. This deployment, which utilizes more units than the previous year, also incorporates immersive video technology for viewing on devices like Apple Vision Pro.
