Yankees vs. Mets Subway Series Game Will Air on Times Square Video Board by Apple TV

Some New York Mets and Yankees fans looking to watch this weekend's Subway Series might be heading to Midtown rather than Citi Field.

Apple TV is broadcasting Friday night's matchup between the Yankees and Mets on a display spanning a city block in Times Square, according to a Wednesday press release from MLB.

First pitch between the Mets and Yankees is set for 7:15 p.m. ET on Friday in Queens.

The first 15,000 fans in attendance at Citi Field on Saturday and Sunday will also receive a Subway Series giveaway shirt.

The Yankees are looking to bounce back this weekend after a recent slump that has seen them drop six of their last eight games, including a 7-0 shutout by the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Struggles in the rest of the AL East, however, mean the Yankees remain eight games ahead of the Orioles for second place in the division.

The Mets are heading into their Wednesday night matchup against the Detroit Tigers with just 16 wins, tying them for the fewest in MLB and leaving the club in the basement of the NL East.

Building some momentum in this weekend's series could help the roster with the most expensive cash payroll in MLB turn things around down the stretch of the season.

The Times Square broadcast is not the only promotion that will be taking place over the next few days during what MLB is billing as "Rivalry Weekend."

The City of Chicago Pipe Band, a musical group comprised of bagpipe players and drummers, will perform in the parking lot outside Rate Field before the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs face off.

The Cleveland Guardians will use their weekend matchup against the Cincinnati Reds to celebrate their 2016 ACLS season on Friday.

Fans attending Saturday's game can receive a bobblehead commemorating Rajai Davis' game-tying home run in the eighth inning of the 2016 World Series, which the Guardians ultimately lost to the Cubs.

The San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners are preparing for the second annual Vedder Cup, which features the series' winning team hoisting a guitar-shaped trophy designed by Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder.
