Live Major League Baseball games are coming to YouTube.

YouTube has partnered with MLB to bring 13 games from the second half of this year’s regular season to YouTube and YouTube TV, the companies announced today.

The games are slated to stream on MLB’s YouTube channel and on a soon-to-launch YouTube TV channel dedicated to the games. Pregame and postgame programming, produced by MLB and featuring some YouTube personalities, will bookend the live-streamed games.

The programming will be available to users in most markets around the world for free, the companies said.
