How to watch all MLS 2023 season games on Apple TV
All MLS fans can watch all the matches for the entire season on Apple TV without any local blackouts or broadcast restrictions. Moreover, fans do not need to purchase the Apple TV set-top device to watch Apple TV. Instead, they can simply find the Apple TV app, on streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, smart TVs, game consoles as well as on their official website – tv.apple.com.
Apple TV will provide live streaming of up to six select matches every week, without a subscription. As such, fans can then choose to watch the free matches or subscribe for the MLS Season Pass package to watch all matches. Aside from Apple TV, fans in the US can also watch some matches on TV via Fox and FS1. The two channels will broadcast 34 matches in English, while Fox Deportes will broadcast the same matches in Spanish. Fans in Canada will also be able to broadcast select matches through TSN and RDS.
