Which would be a true statement if there weren’t already sports on Apple TV+…

There are literally no sports on Apple TV+ right now. There is Friday Night Baseball which is on the Apple TV app, free to everyone. No TV+ required.

How many times do you want to be wrong?

They have the contract for MLS next year…this isn’t a situation of “well maybe the price increase will be worth it if they get sports” it’s “we have exclusive sports programming so we’re worth more now”

MLS contract is a separate subscription service on the Apple TV app. Likely will cost $50-$100 a year. Season Ticket Holders (of which I am one) will get it for free.

They'll throw a free game of the week on the Apple app and probably a few more on Apple TV+ but the entire thing is going to be on a separate subscription as well Sunday Ticket if they get it.

Want to try again?

As part of the agreement, season ticket holders will get free access to MLS related content. All Apple TV+ subscribers ($4.99 month) will also have access to every MLS game with several matches available for free to anyone with Internet access

Are you done being wrong yet? You’re just getting annoying at this point…

Blocked either way because I’m not in the mood for ignorance today…

In the official Apple press release, they mentioned that only a few select games, will be available for free for TV+ subscribers.

If you want to watch all the games, that’s a separate subscription, available through the Apple TV app. Has nothing to do with Apple TV+

Dude, don’t use Forbes contributors for sources, they’re glorified Reddit self posts and have almost no editorial oversight.

The “contributor” you’ve linked to misread the press release. Here is a better source for you: https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2022/06/apple-mls-deal-questions-breakdown/

The deal was for “matches on the Apple TV platform via an MLS streaming service within the app.” You’re wrong, but if that article is why then it’s understandable.
