Facebook MLB Schedule 2019: A New Era for Baseball Fans

Major League Baseball (MLB) and Facebook have been working together to bring baseball enthusiasts closer to the action on the field. In 2018, Facebook Live streamed select games, featuring interactive broadcasts that allowed viewers to post questions to announcers and ask managers and players in-game questions. This innovative approach not only boosted fan engagement but also attracted a younger audience, with an average age of around 20 years younger than MLB's traditional TV audience.

The league launched Facebook Groups for each of its clubs, creating a space for fans to come together, discuss, and debate the game. The MLB Live show page on Facebook currently boasts an impressive 1.2 million followers. With this partnership, baseball fans can now engage with the game like never before.

Looking ahead to the 2019 season, MLB announced its regular-season schedule, starting with an Opening Series between the Athletics and Mariners in Tokyo on March 20-21. Although the schedule for Facebook Watch has not been determined yet, fans can expect more exciting developments as the season unfolds.

The partnership between MLB and Facebook is all about testing a new model for live games, which should help the league reach a younger and more global audience. According to Rob Shaw, Facebook's sports partnerships lead for leagues and media, 'We look forward to testing a new model for live games, which should help the league continue to reach a younger and more global audience.'

With its extensive reach and innovative features, Facebook is the perfect platform for MLB to connect with fans worldwide. As the 2019 season approaches, baseball enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating what's in store for them on the social media giant.
