"For Gabe Spitzer, Netflix's vice president of sports, it's a chance for the streamer to 'work together with a league to grow that audience' beyond just the die-hard sports fans."
"Netflix reaches nearly a billion viewers in more than 190 countries and in 50 languages, making this the first time an MLB opening day game will be seen globally."
"A little over two years ago, Netflix first dipped its toes into live-streaming sports events, with the Netflix Cup, a golf tournament that garnered around 700,000 views."
Major League Baseball's opening day will feature a game between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants, streaming exclusively on Netflix. This event includes retired baseball stars in the broadcast booth and a unique first pitch from 'Thing' from the Addams Family. Netflix aims to attract a broader audience beyond die-hard fans, leveraging its global reach. This marks Netflix's first global MLB opening day game, following its initial foray into live sports with the Netflix Cup, which had modest viewership.
