I have an Apple TV device and subscribe to Apple TV +. I wanted to watch Friday Night Baseball (Phillies vs Astros) and I wasn’t able to find it. The Sports menu option didn’t appear? Any help is appreciated.

What is your model Apple TV box?

What is its version system software (tvOS)?
Friday Night Baseball is to appear inside the Apple TV app.
Friday Night Baseball now requires tvOS 16.2 or later on Apple TV boxes (4th generation or later). Update your Apple TV - Apple Support
Friday Night Baseball is available in select countries. That may exclude users abroad or with accounts from not-included countries.
The Sports menu option didn’t appear?
If the system software version is sufficient, then try the Search function. It should give results for “Friday Night Baseball”, as well as team names (e.g. search: Phillies or Astros).
The Sports tab/menu may only be available on current Apple devices (iPad, Apple TV box) in select countries where connected sports apps are supported (US and CA, I think). On supported devices, sports would also be mentioned in the Watch Now tab (including on iPhone).

Unfortunately, that model isn’t supported anymore for Friday Night Baseball, as described above.
Model no. A1469. I can’t find the tvOS version.
