Amazon Plans Exclusive Streaming of 21 Yankees Games in 2025

Amazon has announced that 21 New York Yankees regular season games will stream exclusively on Prime Video for the 2025 season, available at no additional cost to Prime members in the Yankees' home region. The first game is set for April 2, featuring the Yankees against the Arizona Diamondbacks, with 18 of the games scheduled on Wednesday evenings. These broadcasts will be produced by the YES Network's Emmy Award-winning team, including play-by-play announcer Michael Kay, who is entering his 34th year with the Yankees. The games will not be available on the YES Network or other platforms, marking a significant shift as streaming services increasingly compete for live sports rights. Prime Video's lineup continues to grow, which already includes other sports like the NBA and NFL, amidst the broader trend of viewers moving away from traditional cable subscriptions. The Yankees' schedule includes matchups against multiple 2024 postseason teams, aiming to attract a larger audience through their exclusive streaming deal.
