Clayton Kershaw on Thursday announced that he intends to retire after the conclusion of the 2025 season, which immediately placed more significance on the three-time Cy Young Award winner's scheduled start on Friday. Kershaw's start on Friday against the Giants at Dodger Stadium could very well be his final home start as a member of the club, depending on how the defending champions fare in the postseason, as well as what plans they have for the legendary southpaw come October.
And while the likely sellout crowd of fans who pack Dodger Stadium will get to watch the legend pitch, some Dodgers fans watching at home—or attempting to watch—might not be so fortunate. The game will be broadcast exclusively on AppleTV+, which requires a paid subscription to utilize, and not on Sportsnet LA, the broadcast home of Dodgers baseball for fans based in the Los Angeles area.
