The Yankee Leisure and Sports activities (YES) Community, a regional channel that broadcasts video games from the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and the New York Liberty, is introducing a direct subscription so that you just don’t have to have cable to look at the channel.

The brand new direct subscription will likely be offered in month-to-month and annual packages of $24.99 monthly, or $239.99 per yr. You possibly can subscribe by way of the YES app, which is obtainable in a browser or by means of varied good TV app ecosystems. And if you wish to save a couple of dollars, YES Community is providing introductory offers of $19.99 monthly (a value that you could maintain by means of the top of 2023) and $199.99 when you subscribe by April thirtieth.

You’ll need to be in YES Community’s “regional protection territory” to subscribe, which implies that I gained’t be capable to get this subscription the place I sit in Oregon. (It’s okay, I’m not a fan of the groups.) For those who already get YES by means of your cable subscription, you’ll be able to proceed utilizing the app to stream video games at no further value.

The place you can watch Yankees video games grew to become a contentious matter throughout Aaron Decide’s race to interrupt the American League residence run file. On September twenty third, Decide was poised to interrupt the file throughout a recreation that was set to be broadcast totally free on Apple’s Friday Evening Baseball. However New York Legal professional Normal Letitia James confusingly referred to as for the sport to be introduced over to YES earlier than later taking a softer tone. (Anybody may have watched that recreation totally free on Apple TV Plus, however James nonetheless argued that created “burdens” for Yankees followers.) Days later, Amazon, an investor in YES, made a Yankees recreation accessible on the cable community. For some, figuring out they’ll simply subscribe to this new direct providing to look at video games which are airing on the YES cable channel could possibly be a reassuring choice.

Apple may also be streaming two Yankees video games this season on Friday Evening Baseball. That mentioned, it’s best to know that, for this season, Friday Evening Baseball is barely accessible to paid Apple TV Plus subscribers.
