It will be a throwback night for the Mets on Thursday.
The Mets will begin their massive four-game series against the Phillies, their final home games of the season, on Channel 9 (WOR).
The game is a Fox national exclusive, but with Jets play Patriots on Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football,” those two local NFL markets get the games on free-to-air television, and in the New York area it will be on Fox 5.
Thus, the Mets-Phillies game has been pushed to My9, Fox 5’s sister station.
Each game in the four-game set is broadcast on a different channel.
Friday night’s Mets-Phillies game is exclusive to Apple TV+, while Saturday’s 4:10pm game airs on SNY.
The teams will finish the series playing on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball.”
After that dizzying stretch, Mets fans will know the team’s final six games, with huge road series against the Braves and Brewers as they try to secure their spot in the 2024 MLB playoffs.
SNY will carry five of the six games, while next Saturday’s game in Milwaukee will air on PIX11.
As for Thursday’s game, Mets star Francisco Lindor remains sidelined with a back problem as hot prospect Luisangel Acuna makes another start at shortstop.
Luis Severino will take the mound against ex-Met Taijuan Walker.
