Youre out of luck if you were wanting to use Amazon to stream Yankees video games throughout the shortened 2020 MLB season. Bloomberg has actually validated that Amazon wont be streaming any Yankees video games this season through a combination of COVID-19 and broadcast rights. With the number of games below 162 to just 60 due to the pandemic, the New York-focused YES Network chose to retain TV rights that would have gone to broadcasters Amazon depended on for simulcasts. As the MLB just recently disallowing groups from streaming games on regional sports networks, Amazon was shut out.
Amazon reacted by saying it would “evaluate [its] plans” at the end of the season.
