Spotify has launched a quiz for BTS fans to test their knowledge, marking the release of Arirang, the K-pop icons' first album in four years.
Available for Spotify users with a Premium subscription, the BTS Music Quiz is meant to put ARMY to the test — just like Google's own free BTS quiz, also launched today.
SEE ALSO: BTS fans, you've got to see Google's trivia questSpotify's quiz covers album art (make sure you know your Love Yourself: Answer from your Love Yourself: Her), album release strategies, and even which BTS member opens certain songs — so if you can identify RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook by vocals, you'll probably ace this. It runs from easy questions to medium and hard, and you can tap "challenge a friend" to compare scores.
How can you take Spotify's BTS quiz? Easy, medium, and hard. Credit: Spotify / MashableMake sure your Spotify app is updated, log in, and play any BTS track (I'd probably hit one from their new album Arirang, because it's incredible and it's release day, but you can play whatever you like).
Then, tap the track playing to bring up the song page, then scroll down to the music quiz (it should be under related music videos). I couldn't see the quiz on desktop, so it looks like it's mobile only.
It's a big day indeed for ARMY, with the release of BTS' 10th studio album, the first since announcing their reunion in June 2025. BTS called a hiatus in June 2022 in order for members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook to fulfil South Korea's mandatory military service (which they all completed by June 2025), as well as spend time on solo projects.
Now, they're looking at a colossal, 82-date world tour for Arirang, which will both be livestreamed in cinemas and on Netflix.

We might have to wait a little longer than anticipated for Apple's iPhone Fold.
Analyst Tim Long said so in a new research note for Barclays (via MacRumors), claiming that the shipments for the iPhone Fold will likely begin in December 2026, a few months after iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max hit the shelves.
SEE ALSO: Apple responds to DarkSword spyware, the hacker tool targeting iPhonesThis doesn't necessarily means the iPhone Fold will not launch in September alongside other flagships. But Apple might announce it in September and actually release it a few months later, just like it did with the iPhone X.
We've previously seen reports that all three iPhone flagships will launch in Apple's usual September timeframe; this is the first time we've heard about the Fold arriving a few months later.
Featured Video For You How prediction markets got people betting on nuclear warLong also said he expects Apple's base model, the iPhone 18, to launch in March 2027, which would mean Apple would skip it entirely in 2026. We've heard that before, but Long also said Apple plans to launch two other phones alongside the iPhone 18: the iPhone 18e, as well as either an upgraded iPhone Air, or an iPhone 18 Plus.
Apple's iPhone "Plus" model has gone away in 2025, with Apple effectively replacing it with the super-thin iPhone Air. This is the first time we've heard about the possible resurgence of an iPhone Plus instead of a new iPhone Air, and while it does seem unlikely that Apple would flip-flop between models like that, rumors that iPhone Air isn't selling too well do lend some credibility to this idea.
Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for March 20, 2026The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Earlier this week, Meta announced that its VR app Horizon Worlds would no longer be available in virtual reality (VR) after June 15. It looked like a significant setback to the tech giant's grand VR metaverse vision, with Meta refocusing its efforts on the Horizon Worlds mobile app instead.
Now it seems as though Meta has partially reversed its decision, with CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth citing feedback from users who "encouraged [it] to reconsider." Announcing the change on Wednesday, Bosworth stated that while no new Horizon Worlds games will come to VR, Meta will now continue to support those that already exist.
SEE ALSO: Meta's VR Metaverse takes one more step into the grave"We have decided — just today, in fact — that we will keep Horizon Worlds working in VR for existing games," Bosworth said in an Instagram story responding to Meta users' questions. "The Horizon Unity Runtime games, they're not gonna work on mobile, they'll just be working on VR. We're not bringing new games, again, most of our energy is going toward mobile and the Meta Horizon engine there. The reason for that is because that's where most of the consumer and creator energy already was, and so we're kind of leaning into that."
"But for people who already have games that they like, that they're using in Horizon Worlds, they'll be able to download the Horizon Worlds app and use it for the foreseeable future."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Released in 2021, Meta's Horizon Worlds is a massively multiplayer online space which allows users to create and share games. Though initially a strictly VR experience only accessible via virtual reality headsets such as the Meta Quest or Oculus Rift, Meta subsequently rolled out mobile and desktop versions of Horizon Worlds in 2023.
Last month, Meta acknowledged that the robust VR industry it had predicted "hasn't grown as much or as quickly as [it had] hoped," prompting the company to readjust its approach and focus on Horizon Worlds as a mobile platform.
Even so, Bosworth has stressed that he still believes in the future of Meta's metaverse. Posting to Threads, the Meta executive noted the distinction between VR and the metaverse.
"I’ve said it before, will keep saying it, the metaverse is not just Horizon or VR," Bosworth wrote. "It's the blending of the digital and physical that will define the next computing platform. We can experience it on VR and AR sure but we also see it on mobile platforms. The future is here, it is just not evenly distributed."
Though the terms "virtual reality" and "metaverse" are frequently used in conjunction, they are two different technologies. A metaverse is a virtual world that users explore using digital avatars, allowing them to work, play, shop, socialise, and theoretically do almost anything else they're able to in real life. In contrast, virtual reality is a technology that enables users to immerse themselves in 3D digital environments, displayed via a VR headset.
As such, Bosworth is correct in that virtual reality technically isn't necessary for a metaverse to exist. Still, it is considered a significant element. Most people envisaging a metaverse-heavy future likely picture an immersive Ready Player One experience rather than playing Roblox on a phone screen.
Meta laid off over 1,000 employees from its VR-focused Reality Labs division in January, Bosworth telling ACCESS podcast that the company is investing less in the technology due to its slow growth. Reality Labs has reportedly lost over $70 billion since 2021, the year Meta changed its name from Facebook and announced it was going all in on becoming "a metaverse company."
Mashable staff and contributors have tested nearly a dozen popular Chromebooks over the course of the past two years, and as of March 2026, there are four I recommend in particular. My top pick for most people is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, a high-end Chromebook with a speedy processor, a fanless aluminum build, a clacky backlit keyboard, great battery life, and a beautiful OLED display. It starts at $649.99 (or $749.99 as tested), which is pricey for a Chromebook, but it's super future-proofed and worth the hassle of hunting down on sale.
My complete guide to the best Chromebooks includes other picks for budget shoppers and kids, so keep scrolling. (And if you aren't sure whether a Chromebook is right for you, check out my explainer on how they're different from regular Windows laptops and MacBooks.)
What's newI made a couple changes to this guide in March 2026. The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is now our No. 1 pick overall, replacing the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus, which has been out of stock for several weeks. Additionally, I've decided to crown the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 the best option for gaming. It's dethroned the Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE, which is no longer available in new condition.
What's on deckAcer, Asus, HP, and Lenovo all announced new Chromebooks for 2026 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January. None of them have set pricing or release dates for their devices yet, but we plan on testing them as soon as they're available. Here's the full lineup:
The 15-inch Acer Chromebook 315 will be powered by MediaTek's new Kompanio 540 chip, a lesser version of its powerful Kompanio Ultra 910 chip (as seen in the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 and the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14).
The Asus Chromebook CM14 and CM15 are clamshell-style models that will come in six color options, though not all of them will be available in the U.S. They'll run on the Kompanio 540 chip, too.
The Asus Chromebook CM32 Detachable has a 2.5K 120Hz display, a removable keyboard, and that same Kompanio 540 processor. I saw this one in person at CES and thought it looked a lot like an iPad.
The HP Chromebook 14 and Chromebook Plus 14 are entry-level options with 2K displays and basic Intel processors. The HP Chromebook x360 14 and Chromebook Plus x360 14 are their convertible counterparts. These will probably be some of the cheapest options available.
Lenovo Chromebook Plus 15 i is a 15-incher with an Intel Core i3 processor (hence the "15 i" in its name). It will have a 2K display, a 5MP webcam, and a fingerprint reader, making it a higher-end variant.
As NASA rolled the mega moon rocket to the launchpad Thursday night, the astronauts preparing to ride it watched the spectacle from screens in their quarantine facility.
As of Wednesday evening, the Artemis II crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada's Jeremy Hansen — reported to Johnson Space Center in Houston to begin their mandatory two-week isolation.
It's a milestone moment for any space mission, but one the foursome has already experienced twice before for launch dates that came and went. Mission managers have been trying to launch the 10-day lunar voyage since February, but crews keep finding problems requiring repairs. Now they're shooting for a launch window that begins April 1.
No one yet knows whether the third quarantine is the charm for Artemis II, but the policy protects the crew and their spaceflight from being derailed by everyday germs. After all, Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen will share extremely tight quarters in a sealed spacecraft as they journey around the moon. The Orion capsule, which they've named Integrity, is about the size of a studio apartment. Even a mild virus could spread quickly among them.
"We choose to isolate the crew for 14 days before a launch because most infectious diseases take 10 to 14 days to be transferred from one person to another," said Dr. Raffi Kuyumjian, the Canadian Space Agency's flight surgeon, in a video.
SEE ALSO: NASA's Hubble telescope just saw the space version of a white whaleMedical teams test astronauts when they enter quarantine and again just before liftoff to try to catch any warning signs of illness.
If the idea of that long isolation sounds bleak, know that the quarantine rarely involves astronauts alone. Medical staff, support crews, and technicians who work closely with them often join the protective bubble so they don't pass anything on either. Family members may also join.
NASA quarantine historyAgency policies have come a long way since the Apollo era. Astronauts used to have to go into quarantine before and after returning from the moon. Those pioneers would remain isolated and monitored for 21 days after splashing down on Earth, in case they had been exposed to any microorganisms in the lunar environment.
Their Mobile Quarantine Facility was made out of a modified Airstream camper. The vehicle was carefully filtered so that it couldn't vent anything harmful into the air.
It wasn't until 1971 that NASA ended the post-flight quarantine procedures, following a recommendation from the Interagency Committee on Back Contamination.
NASA discontinued using the modified Airstream campers as post-flight quarantine facilities after Apollo 14. Credit: NASA The Artemis 2 crew quarantineA week before launch, the crew will move to group facilities at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, for the final stretch of quarantine. There they keep training but mainly focus on relaxing. They run through last checklists, sit down with flight directors for final briefings, and complete their last medical exams. They also spend what time they can with family before heading to the launchpad.
"They need to be well-rested because the mission will be very busy," Dr. Kuyumjian said.
But the quarantine is really just one layer of defense to protect crew health. The astronauts and support staff receive vaccines, such as for the flu and COVID-19, to lower the risk of those viruses boarding the spacecraft.
View this post on InstagramLaunch delays can complicate the system. If the schedule slips by a day or two, astronauts generally stay in quarantine until the new launch time. But if a mission is pushed back by several weeks or longer, they come out of quarantine and then start a fresh 14-day isolation before the next attempt.
On the rare occasions when someone has gotten sick in quarantine, it has usually involved mild respiratory infections that did not end up changing the mission. Only if the illness is serious do mission leaders consider delaying the launch or swapping astronauts.

That's an option rarely used, though Jack Swigert is a famous example of a last-minute substitute for Apollo 13. Just three days before the mission, NASA pulled astronaut Thomas Mattingly from the mission because of his exposure to the German measles. As history would show, Mattingly never ended up getting sick — but also didn't end up on that ill-fated flight, which nearly killed the crew.
"It didn't take an awful long time for me to get rid of my hostility for doctors," Mattingly said in a 2001 oral history project interview. "They [had] done me a really good favor."
We're gearing up for the first major Amazon sale of 2026. The Amazon Big Spring Sale kicks off on March 25, giving us the opportunity to shop the retailer's best spring deals through March 31. During a time when the price of simply breathing seems to get more expensive by the day, we're looking forward to shopping deals next week.
Amazon is notorious for offering a selection of classing deals during major sale events — sales that we see pop up every Prime Day sale. These include Amazon devices, Apple products, Ninja kitchen appliances, and plenty more.
The sale doesn't begin until March 25, but we're already seeing some nice discounts. Not everything we're hoping for is on sale quite yet (looking at you, LifeStraw). But if past sales trends hold true, we just need to be patient. In the meantime, Amazon has plenty of great classic deals on offer that are worthy of shopping ahead of the sale. Here are some of the best options to buy today.
Best Kindle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Bundle $202.97The standard Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage comes with a list price of $159.99 but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2025, we saw that drop to $124.99. We hope to see that sale price again next week during the Amazon Big Spring Sale event, but in the meantime, Amazon has the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle on a discount. The Paperwhite (Mashable's favorite Kindle), a plant-based leather cover, and a power adapter is on sale for $202.97, marked down from the normal price of $222.97.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect spring break accessory since it's lightweight enough to pack along and it's waterproof. Plus, a single charge can last for up to 12 weeks.
Best Bluetooth tracker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag (1st Gen, 4 pack) $63 at AmazonApple AirTags are a staple feature during Amazon sales. Will we see the first-ever discount on the second generation AirTags? We'll have to wait on that one, but for now, you can snag a four-pack of first generation Apple AirTags for only $63. That's just one cent away from matching the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon. At $63 for the bundle, each Apple Bluetooth tracker costs just $15.75. The timing for this deal couldn't be better since we're all-eyes on spring break and we're booking summer travel since airfare prices have no bounds these days.
It's spring cleaning season, and Amazon's Big Spring Sale is here to help you celebrate.
While stocking up on the classic cleaning tools, like literal cleaners and robot vacuums is a good option, we also recommend taking a look at your kitchen lineup. With the deals that are live already, there's plenty of potential to fill in any holes in your kitchen's arsenal (or replace any tools on their last legs).
SEE ALSO: Amazon's Big Spring Sale kicks off on March 25 this year. Here's how we're prepping for it.The week-long sale doesn't officially start until March 25, but if you'd rather not wait, there are already great deals on Ninja's appliances, Breville espresso machines and toaster ovens, Nespressos, rice cookers, and more. Check out our top picks below:
Best blender deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Kitchen System $129.99 at AmazonIf you're generally a fan of kitchen multitaskers (and who isn't), this may just be the blender for you. In addition to the full size pitcher you'll get with most blenders, this model of the Ninja Kitchen System comes with two 18-ounce cups and an eight cup food processor bowl, so you're sure to be covered for all your motorized chopping and blending needs. Down to $129.99 all the way from $219.99, it's down to its lowest price ever — and even cheaper than less expensive models with less attachments.
Best air fryer deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Crispi $159.99 at AmazonMashable's Sam Mangino put Ninja's kitchen lineup through the ringer, and the Ninja Crispi came out as the best option for an air fryer. The detachable glass baskets up the convenience factor on an already convenient appliance, allowing for meal prep and storage to happen in the same container you cook in. When it comes time for cleaning, the glass baskets can be dropped directly in the dishwasher. Though there is the drawback of no manual temperature adjustment, Mangino never found it to really affect the way food cooked, saying that everything came out as crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside as expected. While $20 off isn't the best deal we've ever seen, you'll also get a $20 Amazon credit along with your purchase.

For how beautifully simplistic baseball is as a sport, it's pretty ironic how complicated it has become to watch it on TV. Every year of the streaming era, watching live sports becomes a bit more convoluted — and 2026 is no different. This year, Major League Baseball has two new national broadcast partners, plus a new deal with ESPN. And that's on top of the already complicated streaming service lineup. Let's get into it.
If you can't fathom missing a single inning, we've got your guide to watching the 2026 MLB season, including which streamers you'll need and all of the best ways to save.
When does the 2026 MLB season start?The 2026 Major League Baseball season officially opens with a special game on Wednesday, March 25 when the New York Yankees take on the San Francisco Giants at 8:05 p.m. ET. Traditional Opening Day falls on Thursday, March 26 for the remaining 28 teams — that's the earliest scheduled traditional Opening Day in MLB history. The regular season runs through late September, with each team playing a total of 162 games.
What channels or streaming services do I need to watch baseball?In 2026, you'll need a collection of channels and/or streaming services in order to catch every game your favorite MLB team plays. But first, let's break it down into two categories: national versus local broadcasts. As you can probably guess, national broadcasts target a nationwide audience and air on major networks. Local broadcasts serve only specific, regional communities.
MLB national broadcastsMLB has added new broadcast partners for games on national TV for the 2026 season on top of the already substantial lineup from last season. In 2026, national games will air across ABC/ESPN, Fox/FS1, MLB Network, TBS, Apple TV, NBC/Peacock and Netflix. In other words, you'll need a variety of channels if you want to catch every game. It's not as straightforward as simply subscribing to a single streaming service or having cable.
ABC/ESPN — ESPN will exclusively air 30 regular season games across this year's schedule beginning on April 15. Three of those games will air on the over-the-air parent network ABC on Sundays.
Fox/FS1 — Fox and FS1 combined will air over 85 regular season games in 2026, including 23 "Baseball Night in America" Saturday primetime matchups. You'll also need these networks for the NLDS and NLCS playoff series, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
NBC/Peacock — For the first time in 25 years, MLB coverage returns to NBC, starting with an Opening Day doubleheader on March 26. The main network, combined with NBC Sports and Peacock, will air 27 primetime games and 34 afternoon games in 2026. It will be the new home to Sunday Night Baseball this season and some games will be exclusive to Peacock.
Netflix — Netflix started dabbling in sports the past couple years, starting with the NFL on Christmas Day. This year, the streamer will also be the home of three exclusive MLB events: the 2026 season opener on March 25, the Home Run Derby, and the "Field of Dreams" game on Aug. 13.
Apple TV — The home to Friday Night Baseball since 2022, Apple TV typically hosts doubleheaders on Fridays that are exclusive to the streamer with no local blackouts.
MLB Network — The league's official network airs a couple of games each week throughout the regular season.
TBS — Not only does TBS air games on Tuesdays throughout the regular season, beginning with the Yankees vs. Mariners on March 31, but it's also the home to 2026's ALDS and ALCS playoff rounds.
Local broadcasts are a whole different beast. These broadcasts only serve specific regions and air on RSNs (regional sports networks). The majority of games throughout the regular season air on these networks. To put it simply, if you're a fan of your local team and want to watch as many games as possible, you'll need access to your team's RSN. If you're a fan of a team from a different region, you'll be blacked out from watching games on that team's RSN. Instead, you'll need access to MLB.TV, which airs every out of market MLB game (more on that below). It's unnecessarily complicated, but that's the way of watching sports in 2026.
What is an RSN and which one do I need?While the NFL offers national broadcasts of most games with specific in-market choice games, the MLB, NBA, and NHL complicate things exponentially with regional sports networks (RSNs). These are basically sports-specific TV networks dedicated to a designated local market or geographic area. If you live in the same region as your favorite team, you'll need to know which RSN broadcasts your team's games. Examples include MASN+, Gotham Sports, Nationals.TV, and SNLA+. It's worth noting that with the collapse of the FanDuel Sports Network conglomerate, many teams now use MLB itself for their RSN.
Take a peek at MLB.TV's single-team packages to see if your team's RSN is included — 22 out of 30 teams are. The other eight teams have their own separate subscriptions. For a complete list of each team's RSN, see the FAQs below.
In-market vs. out-of-market gamesIf you really only care about your local team, you'll be able to tune into most games through your team's RSN since you're considered in market. Most RSNs offer direct subscriptions for you to watch online or subscriptions through MLB.TV. These vary in price from about $99 to $139 per season. Of course, these subscriptions won't include nationally broadcast games on ABC/ESPN, Fox/FS1, MLB Network, and TBS, but will include the majority of the season. You can also access RSNs through cable or a pay-TV subscription (like Fubo or DirecTV Stream) that includes your team's RSN.
If you want to watch a team that's out of market for your region (say you're an Orioles fan living on the West Coast), you don't necessarily need to know which RSN your team plays on. Instead, you'll want to opt for an MLB.TV subscription instead. MLB.TV is Major League Baseball's official streaming service. It shows almost every game of every team for the entire regular season, with the exception of your local in-market games. In other words, Orioles fans living in Baltimore won't be able to watch Orioles games on MLB.TV. Orioles fans living outside the Baltimore region will. MLB.TV costs $29.99 per month or $149.99 for the season. The league has partnered with ESPN for the next couple of seasons, so you'll subscribe to MLB.TV through ESPN starting in 2026. Already have ESPN Unlimited? You can add MLB.TV to your existing subscription for a discounted price of $134.99 per season.
TL;DR: for in-market games, you'll need an RSN subscription or a pay-TV subscription that offers your RSN. For out-of-market games, you'll need MLB.TV.
How to watch MLB games in 2026As stated before, subscribing to your team's RSN or MLB.TV is the best way to catch the most games throughout the regular season. However, there are also nationally broadcast games that your RSN won't broadcast, plus a few games on Apple TV+, Peacock, and Netflix. Watching sports in 2026 is so frustrating, y'all.
Here's a breakdown of which streaming services you'll need, how much they cost, and the best deals available to save a few bucks.
For out-of-market games: MLB.TV Opens in a new window Credit: MLB.TV MLB.TV $149.99 per season Get Deal Why we like itMLB.TV All Teams package gives you access to every out-of-market game. If you live in a different region than your favorite team, this is your best bet to getting the most bang for your buck. It will also unlock full access to MLB Network. A subscription will run you either $29.99 per month or $149.99 for the entire season, which will save you nearly $90. If you want to save a little more, you can opt for a single-team package for $129.99. Just scroll down to where it says "view single-team packages" to select your team. If you have questions about the MLB streaming service through ESPN, this FAQ page should answer them.
Most RSNs and national broadcasts: Fubo Opens in a new window Credit: Fubo Fubo 5-day free trial, then $48.99 for your first month ($73.99/month thereafter) Learn More Why we like itIf you're looking to stream your home team's games on not only their RSN but also national broadcasts, Fubo gives you the most comprehensive coverage. Be sure to double-check that your team's RSN is listed in the Fubo channel list before committing (just search on the main page). Beyond the widest RSN coverage, it also gives you access to most of the main networks for national broadcasts — ABC/ESPN, Fox/FS1, MLB Network, NBC — with the exception of TBS. For those, you can just snag an HBO Max subscription. The Pro plan usually costs $73.99 per month, but you can get your first month for only $48.99 after a five-day trial.
Other live TV streaming optionsWhile Fubo is the most comprehensive option for MLB coverage, there are also some honorable mentions:
DirecTV Stream — Choice package includes RSNs and major broadcast channels for $101/month (plus fees)
Sling TV — A la carte channel selection, starting at $29.99/month for your first month (no RSNs)
YouTube TV — Base package includes major broadcast channels for $67.99/month for 3 months after 10-day trial (no RSNs)
Hulu + Live TV — Base package includes major broadcast channels for $89.99/month after 3-day trial (no RSNs)
Once again, Apple has partnered up with the MLB to offer an exclusive doubleheader every Friday for Apple TV subscribers. The best part is there are no local broadcast restrictions. Subscribers can enjoy two marquee matchups as their Friday night ritual. If you're new to Apple TV, you'll get a free seven-day trial, then it'll cost you $12.99 per month.
Additionally, MLB games are back on NBC (Peacock) this season for the first time in over two decades. The network and its streaming platform are the new home to Sunday Night Baseball, as well as several other primetime and afternoon games in 2026. Peacock costs $10.99 per month for the Premium package.
Pro tip: Bundle Apple TV and Peacock for a double whammy. You'll pay just $14.99 ($2 more than Apple TV on its own) and get access to Friday Night Baseball and Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts.
Other streaming services you may needWhile our picks above cover a good chunk of the MLB 2026 season, there are a few other things to note. Since Fubo, our top pick for a live TV streaming service, doesn't give you access to TBS, you may also want to sign up for an HBO Max subscription. HBO Max shows live TBS broadcasts on Tuesday nights throughout the season. You'll need the ad-free standard plan to watch, which costs $18.49 per month or $184.99 per year.
Yankees fans, in particular, will also need Prime Video to stream 21 exclusive games this season (the first falling on April 8). Yes, that means even though you have the YES Network or pay for a live TV streaming service with the YES Network, these games won't be viewable. Prime Video on its own costs $8.99 per month, while a full Prime membership is $14.99 per month.
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

The New Moon has now passed, so each night the Moon should appear bigger in our skies, all the way until the next Full Moon on April 1 (in Northern America, other parts of the world will see the Full Moon on April 2, depending on time zones).
What is today’s Moon phase?As of Friday, March 20, the Moon phase is Waxing Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 2% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
When is the next Full Moon?In North America, the next Full Moon is predicted to take place on April 1.
What are Moon phases?NASA says the Moon takes about 29.5 days to orbit Earth, going through eight different phases. We always see the same side, but the Sun lights up different portions as it moves, which is why it can look full, half, or just a thin sliver. These changing shapes are called the lunar phases, and there are eight in total:
New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
