You’ll now be able to pay a single entity and watch every single MLS game that happens in a season. No local blackouts, and no national cable only games. Some games may be simulcast on ESPN/Fox Sports/Univision, but they will still be on AppleTV+.
There will be a fee for this on top of the $5/month that AppleTV+ costs, but some games will be free for all ATV+ subscribers. All MLS season ticket holders will get this package included in their tickets (which is something new).
MLS is centralizing all game production and is partnering with Apple to creat tons of content for the league including a Saturday night whip-around show like NFL Redzone.
The one downside is there don’t appear to be any carve outs for local over the air games. Atlanta uses Bally (formerly Fox Sports South), but other teams have deals with local ABC/NBC/CW/FOX affiliates.
If Apple can land NFL Sunday Ticket, they are going to be major sports tv players in the coming years. I can now drop my ATT tv account after the season because it was the only place I could get Bally without jumping through a lot of hoops.
