Overview

  • MLS Season Pass matches on Apple TV+ are averaging 120,000 unique viewers per game this season
  • The figure marks a 50 percent increase compared with the previous campaign
  • Garber credited the rise to Season Pass availability beyond Apple TV through Xfinity and DIRECTV
  • Apple’s decision not to release detailed streaming data leaves the unique-viewer metric ambiguous and hard to compare with Nielsen ratings
  • Global distribution likely includes international audiences and presents additional growth opportunities for MLS Season Pass
