Fox revealed their 2021 MLB schedule on Thursday, which for the Angels means FS1. None of the initial slate of exclusive Saturday Fox telecasts includes the Angels this year, though the final three weekends of the year haven’t yet been revealed, so if the Angels have designs on a first postseason berth since 2014, maybe they can sneak in a game or two near the end.

But for now, here are the four Angels games that will be on FS1 in 2021, none of which are an exclusive broadcast, which means Fox Sports West (or, once the season starts, Bally Sports West) will still show the game locally as well. The four games in question are all Saturdays:

  • Sat, April 17 vs. Twins
  • Sat, June 19 vs. Tigers
  • Sat, July 31 vs. A’s
  • Sat, Aug. 28 vs. Padres

The Angels will also be on the first ESPN Sunday Night Baseball telecast of the season, in the finale of their opening four-game home series against the White Sox on April 4. That ESPN telecast will be exclusive.
