Apple TV is using the new iPhone 18 Pro to broadcast tonight’s Dodgers vs. Giants game live — how to watch

Apple TV is set to broadcast tonight's Dodgers vs. Giants game live using 14 iPhone 18 Pros hidden throughout Dodger Stadium. The season finale of Friday Night Baseball will be streamed exclusively on Apple TV at 7:15 p.m. PT / 10:15 p.m. ET. Apple has taken its experiment from last year's test at Fenway Park and expanded it for the iPhone 18 Pro launch.

Instead of just four phones, they are deploying 14 iPhone 18 Pros connected to a dedicated private 5G network inside the stadium. These pocket-sized devices will be embedded in various locations around the ballpark, such as the pitch clock, behind the home plate backstop, on the foul poles, and deep inside both bullpens, to provide unique angles and perspectives that traditional TV cameras cannot capture.

The broadcast will utilize the iPhone 18 Pro's advanced 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture, allowing it to automatically adjust to different lighting conditions, from natural twilight to artificial floodlights. T-Mobile has partnered with Apple to provide a dedicated Private 5G network to ensure high-quality, low-latency streaming without video lag or dropped frames. Anyone with an Apple TV subscription can watch the game, with no regional blackout restrictions.
