Apple Opens MLS Playoff Matches to All Apple TV Subscribers

Formula 1, Major League Soccer? All Apple needs now is to add tennis and sailing so they can completely resemble the advertising on CNN International.

Good to see this as the season approaches the end. Might probably help in gaining subscribers in the future.

F1 is one of the most popular sports in the world.

Afternoon/evenings in four US time zones, making them pretty late Funchal-time. But yes they are available both live and on-demand.

Looks like they've given up on the extra paywall for MLS, starting next season.

Uptake must not have been great.

Apple TV Abandons Extra Paywall for Major League Soccer Games

The standalone subscription offering, MLS Season Pass, is shuttering, with all games becoming available to all Apple TV users.

Probably not, but at least it's one less barrier for people now.

I'll watch more games now for sure.

If I watch one of them, it will be more televised soccer matches than I watch now.

I was planning to watch the yesterday’s conference finals today. I went to find the games and right next to them is a box telling that the MLS final is played on 6th of December between X and Y.

Thanks, no point watching the conference finals then. When will they hire someone who actually watches sports? Effing amateur hours again 😡
