Looking At The Yankees' 2024 TV Schedule

I have complained, a lot, about the fact that it can be difficult to find the Yankees on TV with all of the streaming and other networks taking games away from YES.

I did a quick Internet search and found the following. To help all fans, here is a printable version of the Yankees TV Schedule.

After looking at the schedule, I have good news...

I am shocked to say that it's not as bad as it was last year - and, believe it or not, YES has the vast majority of the Yankees games going forward.

There are 149 games to go in the 2024 season. Of those games, 120 will be on YES. 80% of the Yankees games will be in one spot. Terrific! (Or, at least, very good!)

Here's a breakdown of the other providers:

Prime = 20 games

ESPN = 4 games

FOX = 4 games

Apple-TV = 1 game

Some other quick notes on the schedule:

First the bad news: From May 1 until the All-Star Break, Yankees fans without Prime will not see the team on TV on a Wednesday night. Never. Not once. If you are a fan, and Wednesdays are the nights you can watch the team - tough luck. You lose.

Otherwise, here is a month-to-month breakdown:

For the rest of April, YES will have 17 of the next 18 games.

May: 23 of 28 games on YES (every game, except on Wednesdays)

June: 17 of 27 games on YES. Fox has 3 games, ESPN 2 games, Apple-TV has one game and the others are on Prime.

July: 18 of 24 games on YES. Prime has 4 games (not just Wednesdays), Fox has one and ESPN has one.

August: 21 of 26 games on YES. Prime has 4 games, ESPN has one game

September: 24 of 26 games on YES. Prime has two games.

This seems a lot better than last year when the Yankees seemed to be all over the place.

I'd like 100% of the games to be on YES, but 80% isn't terrible. I'm not happy about the Prime games, but, I guess, it could be worse.

Here is my brilliant idea going forward, on the games the Yankees play on Prime, and Apple-TV, they should wear a Prime or Apple-TV patch, instead of the Starr Insurance patch. That way, it'll always be clear which network was broadcasting the game.
