On Wednesday, MLS and Apple gave further details about their new broadcast agreement which will kick off with the 2023 season. Starting Feb. 1, fans can subscribe to MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app for $14.99/month or $99/season. More details:

about the ongoing planning efforts for the nascent production operation. The league has interviewed over 200 play-by-play voices and color commentators as they look to build English, Spanish and French broadcast teams. If you don’t like the league’s commentary assignment, viewers can switch to the home team’s radio feed for a more local perspective.

Other MLS playoff games will air on Apple TV’s streaming service and, most likely, on a linear platform. The league is still attempting to work out a simulcast arrangement with linear partners like ESPN, Fox and Univision in the United States and TSN and TVA Sports in Canada. Where exactly playoff games will air will depend on the specifics of those potential simulcast deals.

Perhaps more curious to me was the decision to bump back kickoff times. While the start time of matches fluctuated wildly throughout the season, the baseline window was a 7:08 p.m. local kickoff to ensure matches finished by 9 p.m. . With games beginning at 7:30 p.m., MLS has a more obvious window for pregame shows but will cut further into the evening — a relevant consideration for families as well as viewers with strict sleep schedules.

jeffrueter Imagine paying $15/mo for a third tier retirement league

$99 to watch MLS? AppleTV can GTFO with that. Used to casually watch games but no way I’m paying for them. Way to screw yourselves. MLS

Lol they’re not trying to grow the game in America they’re just looking to profit. This is gonna be a miserable fail for them! Good luck 👍🏼

SCCR Seriously? 14.99 per month? This is bound to fail massively, I love my team but I’m not paying that to watch a freaking game.

Blackouts or not blackouts for local games ?

Isn’t something free to season ticket holders?

SCCR That is mentally expensive for the MLS.
