It's good news for baseball fans (at least those that subscribe to T-Mobile) today with the announcement that the Magenta carrier has signed a new, long-term deal with Major League Baseball which, among other things, will continue the offer of free MLB TV subscriptions via the T-Mobile Tuesdays app.
“T-Mobile and MLB are embarking on a six-year journey to deliver breakthrough fan experiences, and it’s all thanks to our leading 5G network,” said Mike Sievert, CEO, T-Mobile. “We’re enhancing the game on and off the field to give fans across the country even more ways to enjoy the game we all love — on top of showing our customers love with free MLB.TV.”
Besides continuing to offer free season passes to its subscribers, the deal also includes the following:
- Working with MLB to test the automated ball-strike system over a T-Mobile 5G Private Mobile Network at select MiLB games this season.
- Continuing its title sponsorship of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby during MLB All-Star Week.
- Partnering with MLB Network to bring back the fan-favorite T-Mobile 5G BP show for the T-Mobile Home Run Derby and MLB Postseason.
- Becoming the presenting sponsor for the Little League Baseball World Series, building on its relationship with the world’s largest youth sports organization.
