<P> Since the owners of the Yankees are involved with Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, owner of Manchester City F.C., the Major League Soccer team New York City FC, and the Red Sox being involved with Liverpool F.C., the 2014 International Champions Cup match between Manchester City and Liverpool at Yankee Stadium carried the classic angle of the Yankees and Red Sox rivalry . Liverpool defeated City in a penalty shoot - out . </P> <P> The nature of the rivalry has led to games between the two teams being broadcast on national television . Whenever the two teams play a weekend series, the Friday game is broadcast on MLB Network, the Saturday game is broadcast on either Fox or Fox Sports 1, while the Sunday game is broadcast on either TBS in the afternoon or ESPN as part of Sunday Night Baseball; the New England Sports Network in the Boston market and the YES Network in the New York City market always carry games not assigned on either FOX, FS1 (unless specified), or on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball . Whenever they play games during the week, there are games broadcast on MLB Network, FS1, and ESPN . </P> <P> When the games are broadcast on Fox, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver call the game and, thus the duo has called many significant moments in the rivalry . In 2004, the first game of the season between the two teams, on April 16, a Friday night, was nationally broadcast on Fox, because it marked the first time the two teams were facing each other since the memorable 2003 ALCS . Fox Sports President Ed Goren said of decision to have the game broadcast on Fox: "If were up to me, we'd take the whole series and come back a week later and carry all their games at Yankee Stadium...We started thinking about this at some point after the Yankees closed the deal with A-Rod...This is sort of a relaunch of the season in the middle of April . This is going to be an event ." MLB Commissioner Bud Selig called the broadcast "an extension of the postseason brought into April ." This was the first broadcast of a regular season game in prime - time since Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run to break Roger Maris' record in 1998 . In October, when the two teams met in the ALCS, Selig moved Game 5 of the series to primetime due to the rematch . </P> <P> The broadcasts of the games between the rivals have led to an increase in television ratings . These games have had at least 50% higher ratings than all of the other games broadcast, sometimes almost twice as high than locally broadcast games . In most cases, the most - watched MLB game on any network during a season is a game between the Yankees and the Red Sox . </P>
