Giants vs. Dodgers Free Livestream Tonight on Apple TV

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers are set to face off Friday night, September 18, in a matchup that will be exclusively streamed on Apple TV as part of its Friday Night Baseball series. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. PT / 10:15 p.m. ET, originating from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Fans can watch the game for free by signing up for a seven-day trial of Apple TV+. The subscription service offers the game as part of its exclusive streaming package, which typically costs $14.99 per month after the trial period. Amazon Prime members also have the option to subscribe to Apple TV through Prime Video at the same price, which includes the trial and allows streaming within the Prime Video app.

This series marks one of the few encounters between these National League West rivals this season, with only seven games having been played between them prior to this matchup. The Giants won two out of three games against the Dodgers in San Francisco in April, and the teams split a four-game series at Dodger Stadium in May.

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently clinched the NL West title, securing their 14th consecutive postseason appearance, a streak that ties the 1991-2005 Atlanta Braves for the most consecutive playoff berths in MLB history. This playoff berth was secured after the Dodgers won three out of four games against the Cincinnati Reds.

The San Francisco Giants, under first-year manager Tony Vitello, have had a less successful season with a 64-89 record. However, they are coming off a series win, having taken two out of three games against the St. Louis Cardinals in their most recent outing.

The starting pitchers for Friday night's game are expected to be Cesar Perdomo (0-1, 3.68 ERA) for the Giants and Tyler Glasnow (4-1, 3.50 ERA) for the Dodgers.
