Be warned: Friday’s Cardinals vs. Dodgers game is only available on Apple TV+

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Cardinals fans, brace yourselves. You may not be able to watch Friday night’s game.

When the Cardinals open up a three-game weekend series in Los Angeles taking on the Dodgers tonight at 9:10 p.m. CT, fans will be required to track down the game on Apple TV+.

If you remember how you managed to watch the game when Albert Pujols hit his 700th home run last September, this game will be in the same place as that one was.

The difference this time, though, is that MLB is requiring fans to have a paid Apple TV+ subscription in order to enjoy the 26 Friday night games airing exclusively on the service throughout the 2023 baseball season. This Friday night, it’s the Cardinals’ turn on the Apple TV+ merry-go-round.

Directly from the MLB website, here’s how to access the action on Friday night:

Fans will be able to access “Friday Night Baseball” from the Apple TV app with an Apple TV+ subscription. To access “Friday Night Baseball” games on Apple TV+, fans will need to follow these steps:
