T-Mobile inks new partnership deal with Major League Baseball

T-Mobile has just renewed its partnership with Major League Baseball. This renewal gives the Un-carrier six more years of exclusivity with MLB, Little League Baseball and Softball, and a new MiLB deal. It also marks the biggest deal that T-Mo has inked with MLB.

In its announcement, the Un-carrier detailed the different ways the partnership with MLB can help:

Minor League Baseball (MiLB) Partnership

MLB will be using T-Mo’s 5G Private Mobile Network to test its automated ball-strike (ABS) system in select games this season. Using the network, they will be able to securely transmit real-time ABS data and video. As a result, players and officials can review, challenge, and analyze calls.

In addition to this, spectators can expect to see T-Mobile in MiLB stadiums across the country.

All-Star Week

T-Mobile will continue with its title sponsorship of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby throughout All-Star Week, which will be held in Seattle’s T-Mobile Park in July.

Little League Baseball & Softball Partnership

The partnership also continues T-Mobile’s sponsorship of Little League and Softball communities across the US. The new agreement also gives T-Mo a title of the presenting sponsor for the Little League Baseball World Series.

The partnership also means that T-Mo gets to continue its T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant Program, where it provides financial support and equipment donations to Little Leaguers.

Continued 5G Expansion in MLB Stadiums

The partnership allows T-Mobile to continue deploying its 5G network at MLB stadiums around the country.

Free MLB.TV

This also gives T-Mobile customers a chance to enjoy a free MLB.TV subscription using the T-Mobile Tuesdays app. In the process, customers get to save $149.99 on the annual subscription.
