How To Watch ESPN’s Derek Jeter Docuseries ‘The Captain’ Online

The first half of the 2022 MLB season is in the books, which means it’s time for the All-Star break! The Home Run Derby airs later tonight on ESPN, with the All-Star Game set for Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX. But if you’re looking for something to stream after the derby but before the annual battle between the AL and NL, the first episode of Derek Jeter’s entertaining docuseries The Captain premieres tonight on ESPN.

Directed by Randy Wilkins, The Captain is an expansive look at the life and career of the iconic Yankees shortstop. Featuring surprisingly candid interviews with Jeter and a host of his family members and former teammates (Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Darryl Strawberry, and, yes, Alex Rodriguez), the series is an enthralling mix of personal and professional, covering New York’s dynastic run while also exploring race, celebrity culture, and Jeter’s complicated relationship with the media.
