Major League Baseball and Roku have agreed on a deal that makes Roku the new place to watch MLB Sunday Leadoff games.

One of the 18 matchups selected for this season is the Arizona Diamondbacks-Philadelphia Phillies game on June 23.

The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park with a special start time of 11:35 a.m. ET, two hours before the previously scheduled time of 1:35 p.m. ET. Matt Gelb of The Athletic previously reported the movement of June 23’s game last Friday.

To watch the Diamondbacks-Phillies game, along with the other 17 games that will be broadcast by Roku throughout the 2024 season, fans can tune into The Roku Channel.

The Roku Channel is free to access through any Roku device, The Roku Channel website, The Roku Channel app or Roku’s mobile app. No paid subscription will be required to watch. Those fans with an MLB.TV subscription will also be able to watch all the games, as none of them will be subject to blackout restrictions.
