Sports
Streaming services are increasingly relying on varied content to attract new customers. Apple has vied for contracts from multiple major sporting leagues, but only signed a few so far.
MLB
Apple announced a partnership with Major League Baseball to air a doubleheader with pre- and post-game shows every Friday night. The Friday games are available to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
A separate show called "MLB Big Inning" will air every weeknight in the US during the regular season that features highlights and look-ins. US and UK customers will also have access to a 24/7 livestream with replays, news, analysis, classic games, and more.
MLS
Apple also obtained rights for streaming the next decade of Major League Soccer. Some games will be included with an Apple TV+ subscription, but most will require an additional service called Season Pass.
Major League SoccerFrom February 1, 2023, fans will be able to subscribe to Season Pass for $14.99 per month, or $99 per season, via the Apple TV app. Existing Apple TV+ subscribers will be able to add the MLS Season Pass to their subscription for $12.99 per month, or $79 per season.
About Apple TV+
Apple TV+ is the company's biggest step into media since the introduction of Apple Music in 2015. Through this service, you can watch original films and television commissioned or purchased by Apple. You will not find classic series runs like "The Simpsons" or "Seinfeld" on Apple TV+. Instead, it is mostly original content licensed directly by Apple.
Devices that support Apple TV+Apple TV+ is accessed via the Apple TV app. Though its name may suggest that it needs an Apple TV box to work, this is not the case.
Following the launch of macOS Catalina, there is an Apple TV app on Mac too. You can use the Apple TV app on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad as well.
The aim is to have this service be wherever you are and on whatever Apple device you use. However, Apple also wants this service to have as wide a reach as it can, so alongside its own hardware, you can watch it via smart TVs such as certain Samsung models. Or you can get the whole service, plus access to your previously bought videos, via an Amazon Fire Stick or even Roku box.
If you are on any other device, including those running Android, you can always visit the Apple TV+ website.
Apple TV+ Pricing
From launch, Apple has offered a year's free Apple TV+ service to anyone buying a new iPhone or other devices. This promotion is for a limited time only, though we don't yet know how long it will last.
Similarly, there is a bundle offer where people on the Apple Music Student Plan will receive Apple TV+ for free.
Apple TV+ costs $6.99 per month, which is cheaper than either Disney+ or Netflix. As with Apple Music and Apple News+, there is a free trial period, which in this case is one week. Users can also subscribe to any tier of Apple One to get Apple TV+ included.
