The tech giant is looking to expand its sports coverage, building on a decade-long deal it recently secured to exclusively stream Major League Soccer (MLS) on Apple TV beginning next month, according to the report.
In November 2022, Apple and Major League Soccer announced plans to launch a streaming service on February 1, 2023.
The ‘MLS Season Pass’ streaming service will feature “live MLS regular-season matches, entire playoffs, and the Leagues Cup, all with no blackouts”, Apple said in a blog post.
The service will make MLS more accessible to a global audience in a more streamlined manner.
Starting from February 1, users can subscribe to the service on the Apple TV application for $14.99 per month or $99 per season.
