MLS Deal

Apple and Major League Soccer (MLS) today announced that the Apple TV app will be the exclusive destination to watch every single live MLS match beginning in 2023. This partnership is a historic first for a major professional sports league, and will allow fans around the world to watch all MLS, Leagues Cup,1 and select MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT matches in one place — without any local broadcast blackouts or the need for a traditional pay TV bundle.

This is such an utterly stupid move that it makes complete sense MLS is doing it. Why leave ESPN+?

Apple TV has about 25m subscribers in the US and ESPN+ has 22.3m. The big difference is that the 22.3m people with ESPN+ care about sports enough to pay extra for it, that is not the reason someone subscribes to Apple TV.

Just completely going to frick up any growth they have seen.
