The Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds game on Wednesday, July 8, will air exclusively on and the app, giving the series opener a different viewing setup than the Reds' usual TV coverage.
That means the game will not be available on the team's standard TV network. Fans in the Reds' regional TV territory can still watch through cable and satellite providers or stream digitally on Reds.TV through the MLB app. Fans outside the regional area can watch by subscribing to MLB.TV.
The broadcast changes only last for the opener. On July 9, the Reds vs. Phillies game will air on Reds.TV, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET.
After that, the schedule returns to a more familiar setup. The Reds vs. Cubs series at Great American Ball Park from July 10-12 will also broadcast on Reds.TV.
For fans trying to follow the stretch of games without missing a start time, the key date is July 8. The national window makes that game the one to adjust for, while the rest of the homestand moves back into the Reds.TV pattern.
