MLS games available in bars and restaurants via DirecTV deal

Major League Soccer has announced that MLS games will be available in bars and restaurants across the United States of America and Canada as the new season kicks off on February 25, 2023.

Thanks to Apple’s MLS Season Pass, DIRECTV Business will cover the action of the new season at more than 300,000 locations, including restaurants, bars, hotel lounges and more.

The action is set to be delivered via DIRECTV’s existing satellite equipment.

Fans in Canada CAN ALSO SEE

Meanwhile, fans in Canada can catch the action thanks to Pay TV, which will also offer MLS Season Pass to retail outlets to make sure fans don’t miss out on the action featuring Canadian clubs.

For those who would be watching from the comfort of their homes, MLS Season Pass on Apple TV has every game in the season through 2032.

Fans will now be able to access a wide variety of content that will include the history of the league and will also feature hundreds of MLS Next Pro and MLS NEXT games throughout the campaign.

This season will be the first of MLS’s 10-year partnership with Apple. The tech giant has paid $2.5 billion to acquire the rights to show all MLS matches around the world.

The MLS Season Pass is also accessible in the Apple TV app on Apple handheld devices, game consoles, the Apple TV website, as well as smart TVs, streaming devices and set-top boxes.

Here are some resources to help you get the most out of the MLS Season Pass!

However, if you don’t want to watch the MLS games available in the bars, you can watch them from the comfort of your home. The MLS talking heads continue to preach that the league has more parity than other competitions. However, when it comes to broadcast television on the network you work for, there is no parity. Instead, as the only MLS TV station left standing, FOX Sports has its favorites. For example, when it comes to the number of times each MLS team appears on TV, several teams are left out without national broadcasts for the 2023 MLS season.
