Yeah MLS is exclusive to Apple plus now except for the games that are on free local channels like Fox, ABC, etc. There’s no other way to (legally) stream the games.
I’m including all ways to stream; if it’s an Apple exclusive then I haven’t found any way at all to stream. I went ahead and paid the $ to Apple and have enjoyed seeing the games live, without having a mad google session as the game began with a gazillion porn ads on sketchy sites to find the SkySports stream or wherever it would be available in previous years.
Wow haha. So I just found out that my wife already has an AppleTV+ subscription shared with me, so I guess I just have to shell out for the MLS add-on which is tolerable I guess.
I was thinking last night that if I was to go out a sports bar/restaurant to watch every game I’d still be shelling out cash every time there as well.
Nevertheless, it looks like this Sunday’s game against Philly is free on AppleTV+ and broadcast on Fox
So uh would I just watch directly from the MLS website?
When I visit its “watch” page, everything seems to direct me to AppleTV?
Anyhow I guess I’m currently good with AppleTV+ since my wife is already paying for it… but maybe this might help for others
I’m not an AppleTV subscriber, I’m an MLS Season Pass subscriber. I can watch the ATL games, but I can’t watch Ted Lasso. They aren’t tied together other than both are serviced by Apple. There may be benefits of subscribing to both, but I don’t know what they are.
ETA: in other words, you are not good to watch it via your wife’s AppleTV unless your wife is also a subscriber to MLS Season Pass.
Oh man. Thanks for all this info… but I can’t help feeling an overwhelming sense of old man yells at clouds vibe bubbling within me whenever I think about the state of tv these days

FWIW, you don’t need Apple TV+ to get the MLS subscription – they’re independent of each other.

You’ll need to sign up for Apple TV (free), but you don’t need TV+.
