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.

They probably tried to strong arm the major providers thinking the product was worth more than it actually was and got laughed at off the table

This move reeks of desperation. Apple TV does a couple mlb games a week and it’s a disaster

And with ESPN+ I got several other soccer leagues included. I'm not going to pay for Apple+ just for MLS. ESPN+ has it's issues but putting a sport that is finally getting some growth on a random platform that has no sports is just stupid but typical of MLS.
