Even though my personal life(kids sports) is more entrenched in soccer by the day my MLS viewing has gone in the shitter with the Apple Deal.

Personally, I think I  need advertisements/reminders of games to drive my consumption.  I just don't have the timing of games built into my life and brain like CFB, NFL, MLB and NBA.  Full disclosure I didn't grow up with soccer and never gave the sport much care until my kids got involved.  I watch WAY more EPL than MLS.  I know every Sat and Sun  Aug to May morning games are going to be on.  Probably also ease of access with USA/NBC is a part of it.  Apples production is not great as well, feels very sanitized/detached.

Yay!

When I signed up for T-Mobile, one of the things was “1 Year of Apple TV”…

And then almost immediately everything on Apple TV went behind an Apple TV+ paywall. I basically gave up on All Apple programming because fuck them, that’s why.

FYI. You can buy MLS Season Pass as low as $15 on eBay. People are selling the codes they received. Just make sure seller has good reviews.

Thanks for the tip. Just paid $21.50. Activation successful.

I realized midway through the FC Dallas/Houston game on Saturday night that I should check to see if T-Mobile was offering the season pass for free.  To my surprise, they were.  I signed up, turned on the game, and a 1-0 deficit turned into a 2-1 FCD win.

Took a newbie (huge Cowboys and college football guy) to two Austin FC games to start the year and he was asking me all sorts of questions about MLS saying how fun the games where even for soneone who knows nothing about soccer. His family probably spent close to $200 on merchandise at the 2nd game they were so into it. As we're talking he got to, "Where can I watch the away games at?"

 

His response to MLS Season Pass was basically "Oh never mind"

 

Not a good look with the World Cup coming up

He spent $200 on merch at one game but $100 to watch every game, every team for the whole season was a bridge too far?

Honestly I think it’s a pretty fair deal. MLB is $150 for the year and you can’t even watch your local team.
