T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) and Major League Baseball have reached a new six-year renewal of their sponsorship deal making the carrier baseball's official wireless partner.
For customers, that means free MLB.TV subscriptions via T-Mobile Tuesdays through 2028. But the deal also looks to move forward on innovation, as T-Mobile will work with MLB to test its automated ball-strike system at select minor-league games using T-Mobile's 5G Private Mobile Network.

The deal covers Major League Baseball, Little League Baseball and Softball, and now Minor League Baseball through 2028.
T-Mobile will continue title sponsorship of the Home Run Derby during MLB's All-Star Weeks.
The deal also means continued 5G expansion in MLB stadiums, "laying the groundwork for future immersive 5G-connected experiences for fans and enhanced connectivity for T-Mobile customers."
âT-Mobile and MLB are embarking on a six-year journey to deliver breakthrough fan experiences, and itâs all thanks to our leading 5G network,â said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert.
