Scheduling history
Beginning with the 2014 television contract, FS1's regular-season telecasts are not exclusive, with the teams' local broadcasters also showing the games. As such, similar to TBS' regular season telecasts, the feeds shown on MLB.tv and MLB's social media channels don't use the FS1 broadcast but rather the local broadcasts of a featured game.
As of 2025, most FS1 games air Saturday afternoons, with additional, irregularly scheduled weeknight games.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/mlb-tv-schedule-2021-espn-fox-fs1-tbs-dates-times/|title=MLB TV schedule 2022: When and where to watch|website=Sports Media Watch|date=5 March 2017 |access-date=March 18, 2022}} Weeknight games that have aired on FS1 include:

=Saturday afternoons=
As of the 2025 season, FS1 carries a Saturday afternoon game most weeks (unless the broadcast network is airing a game). These games, like the weeknight games, are non-exclusive. FS1's coverage begins with the pregame show a half-hour before the game, which usually starts at 1, 4 or 10 p.m. Eastern Time. If there is a second or rarely third game on FS1, which occurs in the early season before the Fox broadcast network's exclusive Saturday evening coverage begins (it will still air games after the broadcast network coverage on some weeks, or when Fox switches to a Thursday night game on a given week), a studio show is aired in between.
=Postseason coverage=
{{see also|List of American League Division Series broadcasters|List of National League Division Series broadcasters|List of American League Championship Series broadcasters|List of National League Championship Series broadcasters}}
With FS1 taking over most MLB coverage in 2014, postseason coverage on Fox Sports' end of the package began to be split between the Fox broadcast network and FS1. The deal, which brought back Division Series baseball to Fox for the first time since 2006, put Fox's Division Series games exclusively on FS1. As part of their contract renewal before the 2019 season, Fox has agreed to air any League Championship Series Game 7 that Fox Sports has rights to (not including the game 7 on TBS) on the broadcast network. Fox airs the World Series in its entirety, as has been the case every year since 2000.
For the 2020 NLCS however, while Fox aired Games 1, 4 and 7, FS1 aired every game except Game 1 as it simulcast Games 4 and 7. (Game 4 was scheduled to air only on FS1 but the postponement of a previously scheduled Thursday Night Football game that was supposed to air on Fox allowed both Fox and FS1 to air the game.){{Cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/two-week-5-games-pushed-004828947.html|title=Two Week 5 games pushed back after positive COVID-19 tests|date=9 October 2020 }}
For the 2021 ALCS, Fox aired Games 1 and 2 while FS1 aired Games 2–6 (Game 2 was simulcast on both channels), Game 7 would have aired on both networks had the series gone its distance. From 2022 on, Fox will air more postseason games as part of the renewal made in 2018.

In mid-May 2007, an updated version{{YouTube|title=FOX MLB Theme (2007-2010)|id=EzMHUtsPn9U}} was unveiled, featuring a more jazzy feel and implementing a full orchestra instead of the synth elements used by the 1996 theme.

In 2014, the 2007–2010 jazz theme was brought back for regular season games on MLB on FS1. The NFL theme was retained for MLB on Fox, including Fox Saturday Baseball, Baseball Night in America, the All-Star Game and all coverage of the postseason. However, occasionally one of the two themes was heard on telecasts that were designated for the other, implying that the designations are slightly fluid.
In 2020, MLB on Fox reintroduced the original 1996–2007 theme; Fox Sports regional affiliates continued to use the 2007–2010 theme until the network was rebranded to Bally Sports in 2021. As of the 2021 season, the original theme is now used for coverage of all games across both Fox and FS1.
