On April 4, the Phillies will face the Mets at Citi Field in the final game of a three-game divisional series. If you are hoping to watch the game, you’d better have a Facebook account.
On Friday, MLB announced a new deal with Facebook that will allow the social media behemoth to air exclusively 25 baseball games this season, starting with the Phillies. The games will air weekly on Facebook Watch within the United States and most global markets, marking MLB’s first foray into digital-only national broadcasts. Viewers will be able to watch on their phones, tablets, laptops and other web-connected devices, including televisions at home.
