The New York Yankees will get plenty of national airtime this season. In addition to their two rivalry games on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, TNT announced that the Yankees will be featured on four of its “MLB Tuesday” night games in the first half of the season.

The Yankees will face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks to kick off TNT's fourth year of Tuesday night coverage on April 1. They are billing this game as a matchup of the “two most recent World Series runner-ups.”

On May 6, the Yankees will host the San Diego Padres on the Tuesday Night national broadcast. The Cleveland Guardians will visit the Yankees in the Bronx on June 3 for a TNT game and the Yankees’ game against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium will be broadcast on TNT June 10.

All the games begin at 7 p.m. and besides being broadcast on TNT are available to be streamed live on Max’s B/R Sports as well as the TBS app and TBS.com.

On ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” the Yankees will be featured in two rivalry games.

They will face their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets, in their first Sunday Night Baseball appearance on May 18. It will be the finale of a three-game series which will bring former Yankees’ right fielder Juan Soto back to the Bronx for the first time since he spurned them for the Mets. It is part of ESPN’s “Rivalry Week.”

 After spending one season in pinstripes, Soto turned down the Yankees' $760 million contract offer and chose the Mets’ $765 million, 15-year deal.

The Yankees will also be on the Sunday night game July 1, facing off against the Dodgers in a rematch of the 2024 World Series. It is the first time the two teams will meet since the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the Fall Classic.
