Payton Tolle is the name attached to the Yankees and Red Sox viewing guide, and the game was set for 7:10 PM ET at Fenway Park in Boston. Fans in the New York broadcast area were pointed to YES Network, while fans in the Boston area had NESN.
Yashpal Singh wrote the guide, which centered on one practical question: where to find a rivalry game once first pitch arrived. The Yankees and Red Sox were scheduled to meet at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, and the listing gave local viewers a direct channel path instead of forcing them to guess at game time.
YES Network and NESN
YES Network carried the game for fans in the New York broadcast area, and NESN carried it for fans in the Boston area. That split matters because the matchup was treated as a regional broadcast rather than a single national TV window, so location determined the easiest way to watch.
For viewers beyond those local markets, the guide said FuboTV carried both YES Network and NESN. DirecTV Stream also offered regional sports networks for the game, giving cable-cutters a second route if they wanted the local feed tied to their market.
MLB.TV blackout rules
MLB.TV was listed for out-of-market viewers, but local blackout restrictions applied. In practice, that means the service was not the catch-all option for fans inside the New York and Boston broadcast areas; the local television feeds remained the cleanest path for those viewers.
The guide also made the limits plain for fans outside the local markets. They likely would not find the game on standard cable unless it was picked up by a national network at the last minute, and no such national pickup was part of the information provided. That left the broadcast map split between local TV, streaming services, and blackout rules.
Fenway Park first pitch
The timing was set before the first pitch: 7:10 PM ET at Fenway Park in Boston. For anyone planning around the game, that gave a fixed start time and a clear viewing route by market, with YES Network in New York, NESN in Boston, and MLB.TV reserved for viewers outside those areas.

The article does not say whether any national network ultimately carried the game, so the safest move for viewers was to follow the local channel assignments or use the listed streaming options before 7:10 PM ET.
