If you’re anything like us, you’ve cleared your calendar for baseball this Independence Day.
Once again, MLB steals the show on July 4th with an entire day’s worth of action. The first pitch of the day is set for 11:05 a.m. ET between the Nationals and Red Sox; exactly 11 hours later, the Athletics and Giants begin the 15th and final game of the day at 10:05 p.m. ET.
The matchups are nothing short of captivating. Round 2 of the Subway Series begins in Queens, with Juan Soto and the Mets out for revenge against the Yankees. Soto, sensational of late, will look to lay the hammer down against his former team.
Two of baseball’s hottest teams tangle in Hollywood, with Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers welcoming in the Astros. And the NL Central race heats up as Pete Crow-Armstrong’s Cubs try to separate themselves from the pesky Cardinals.
Here’s everything you need to know about watching baseball this July 4th, including TV and live stream information for every game.
