ESPN to televise "All-Access" Cubs spring training game


by -

ESPN will continue its innovative Major League Baseball coverage during 2020 spring training as it expands its “All-Access” special content initiative. ESPN will dedicate “All-Access” coverage to all four of its spring training telecasts, including the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game on Tuesday, Mar. 3 at 1 p.m. ET.

ESPN “All-Access” documents the complete game day experience for MLB Clubs across its television, digital, and social media platforms. It provides viewers with a special access and behind-the-scenes content throughout the day, including players, managers and executives mic’d up, in-game interviews, features, essays and other content leading up to – and through – the game.

“All-Access” schedule:

Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels visit Anthony Rizzo and the Chicago Cubs on Mar. 2;

Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees host Xander Bogaerts and the Boston Red Sox on Mar. 3;

Paul Goldschmidt and the St. Louis Cardinals visit Pete Alonso and the New York Mets on Mar. 4;

The Boston Red Sox make a second “All-Access” appearance as they visit Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves from the Braves’ new spring training facility on Mar. 6.

In total, ESPN and ESPN+ will combine to carry 10 MLB spring training games this March with six games available live on ESPN+ from Mar. 19-24. The full schedule is below.
