The first month of Major League Soccer (USA's tier 1 soccer league) just finished. I managed to watch two full games on Apple TV+ and highlights of other games while they were free. Rest of the season requires a season pass.

Notes

No game replays. When a game is over you can watch a 7-minute highlights video. If you start watching a game late you can start from the beginning and finish watching even after pausing.

Same as for Friday Night Baseball the preview images include the final score which I find very annoying.

The games themselves are generally good quality. Not as sharp as Friday Night Baseball but I think better than standard definition.


Overall this brief view of soccer hasn't made me really want to keep watching. I guess that's a bit up to the commentary. What made me love other sports is good commentators that explain the game and the strategies and tactics. From the two full games I've watched the commentators haven't really done that.

I'm hoping that if Apple TV+ continues to have a free game or two per week those games will have the A-team commentators.
