February 21st: The MLB.tv schedule has finally been released. I’ve updated the table below. Twenty-four of the Yankees’ 32 exhibition games will be televised live.
February 18th: This coming Saturday the Yankees will begin their 31-game Grapefruit League season. The spring home opener is next Monday, and the Yankees will close out their spring schedule with an exhibition game at Nationals Park five weeks from today. Opening Day is Thursday, March 28th, at home against the Orioles. So close, yet so far.
In recent weeks the YES Network, ESPN, and MLB Network released their Spring Training broadcast schedules, and, at the moment, 15 of the Yankees’ 32 spring games will be televised live. That number will increase once the MLB.tv spring broadcast schedule is announced. Every network has scaled back on their spring coverage in recent years, but still, most Yankees games will be broadcast this spring.
My gift to you is the table below, which has the team’s Spring Training television broadcast information in one convenient place. You’ll be able to find this post linked in the Opening Day Countdown widget in the sidebar at all times. All start times are Eastern Time.
