New York Mets hitter Juan Soto faces the New York Yankees. The teams meet today at 1 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

The New York Mets<\/a> face the New York Yankees<\/a> in the first Subway Series matchup of the year at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at<\/a> Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida. Right-hander Justin Hagenman<\/a> is scheduled to start for the Mets, while Luis Gil<\/a> takes the mound for the Yankees.<\/p>\n

The Mets vs. Yankees spring training game will be carried on national TV. The MLB Network will broadcast<\/a> the game live. Fans should check their local cable, satellite or over-the-top streaming apps for the channel that carries MLB<\/a> Network. The game will be the third of 76 spring training games broadcast on nationwide TV by the network.<\/p>\n

Live streaming of the game will also be available, but requires a subscription<\/a>. A subscription to MLB+ costs $59.99 for the season and includes MLB Network as well as \u201clive audio for all 30 teams (no blackouts), live MiLB games and MLB Big Inning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game is also available with an MLB.TV subscription for $149.99 for the season, and includes all out-of-market MLB games plus all available spring training games. The MLB.TV subscription also comes with MLB Network, live audio of every game, minor league games streamed live and MLB Big Inning as well.<\/p>\n

What Time Is Mets vs. Yankees and Where Is It Played?<\/p>\n

The game begins at 1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT, at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the Yankees\u2019 spring training home. The Grapefruit League contest marks another early look at roster battles as both clubs ramp up toward the regular season.<\/p>\n

The Mets played their Grapefruit League opener on Saturday and came out on the losing end, 2-1 to the Miami Marlins<\/a>. For the Mets, the game raised immediate questions about the team\u2019s offense, which managed only two hits.<\/p>\n

The offseason\u2019s highest-profile free agent acquisition, former Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> shortstop Bo Bichette<\/a>, got off to a shaky start in a Mets uniform. Not only did Bichette hit into a pair of routine groundouts in his only two at-bats, he also botched his first groundball chance at his new position, third base.<\/p>\n

On a sharp grounder from Miami\u2019s Connor Norby<\/a> in the fourth inning, \u201cBichette had to range to his right, nearly to the foul line to backhand the ball, and from there his throw wasn\u2019t particularly strong, as well as a bit off-line,\u201d according to an account by the New York sports cable network SNY. \u201cFirst baseman Jose Rojas<\/a> stretched for the ball and dropped it, getting an error on the play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Justin Hagenman vs. Luis Gil: Starting Pitching Matchup<\/p>\n

Hagenman draws the start<\/a> for the Mets as he looks to make his case this spring, while Gil takes the ball for the Yankees. The pitching matchup offers an opportunity for both right-handers to set the tone early in camp against division competition.<\/p>\n

Gil was the 2024 American League Rookie of the Year but was limited to just 11 starts last season by a lat strain<\/a>. Gil compiled a 3.32 ERA in 57 innings with a 4-1 record.<\/p>\n

Hagenman is a 29-year-old who was a 23rd-round Los Angeles Dodgers draft<\/a> pick in 2018 out of Penn State.<\/p>\n

After making his debut in 2025, appearing in nine games with a 4.56 ERA<\/a>, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-hander will be looking to impress manager Carlos Mendoza as he competes for a spot on the Opening Day roster.<\/p>\n
