The Boston Red Sox regular season opens on March 28 in Seattle. Yes, it's much, much closer than you think.
A lot of Red Sox fans have admitted to being out on the action after another disappointing offseason to follow a last-place 2023 campaign. But there will still be bright spots to the coming slate of games, regardless of the number of wins the Sox end up with.
Lucas Giolito signed with Boston to put his name back on the map. Young talents like Triston Casas and Wilyer Abreu will be trying to make their mark on the team, and more prospects could be coming up to the bigs later in the season. The battle for a spot in the starting rotation will force the Sox's hurlers to keep their best foot forward.
No matter how the season goes, there will always be fans who want to tune into the games. We got you.

Apple TV+ airs select MLB games on Friday nights during the season. Two games per week are selected as part of Apple TV+'s Friday Night Baseball series. The schedule of games that'll be aired on Friday Night Baseball hasn't been released at the time of publication, so there's no telling how many times the Sox will be broadcast here. Still, there's a seven-day free trial available, and afterward, a subscription will cost $9.99/month.

For the baseball fanatics, there's always MLB Extra Innings, which is an addition to a cable or satellite package that offers 80 out-of-market games per week along with MLB Network and MLB.tv. The plan goes for $149.99/month.
