Kinda embarrassed to ask but are there lower cost streaming alternatives to AppleTV+SeasonPass to watch matches at home?

    FWIW, you don’t need Apple TV+ to get the MLS subscription – they’re independent of each other.

      So uh would I just watch directly from the MLS website? When I visit its “watch” page, everything seems to direct me to AppleTV? Anyhow I guess I’m currently good with AppleTV+ since my wife is already paying for it… but maybe this might help for others

        I’m not an AppleTV subscriber, I’m an MLS Season Pass subscriber. I can watch the ATL games, but I can’t watch Ted Lasso. They aren’t tied together other than both are serviced by Apple. There may be benefits of subscribing to both, but I don’t know what they are. ETA: in other words, you are not good to watch it via your wife’s AppleTV unless your wife is also a subscriber to MLS Season Pass.

          Oh man. Thanks for all this info… but I can’t help feeling an overwhelming sense of old man yells at clouds vibe bubbling within me whenever I think about the state of tv these days

          screen grab from the Simpsons of grandpa Simpson’s website “old coot.com” with a page displaying a title “Why Today Stinks” with an image of him looking grumpy with an upraised fist

        You’ll need to sign up for Apple TV (free), but you don’t need TV+.

        From their website:

        If you are already an Apple TV+ subscriber: $12.99/month or $39/season
        If you are not an Apple TV+ subscriber: $14.99/month or $49/season
