If you also have an Apple TV, you definitely know that one of the most interesting and enjoyable things to do is watch live sports matches on Apple TV. In addition to its own dedicated application, Apple TV has also provided several platforms and services for live streaming of sporting events. In this article, we are going to discuss how to watch live sports matches on Apple TV. We will also introduce the services that cover sports matches on Apple TV. So stay tuned.
Watch sports on Apple TV
The Sports section of the Apple TV app is dedicated to sports. To access the Sports section of the Apple TV app, you need to open the sidebar menu and select the Sports option. In this section, you can see the results of the matches at a glance. You can also watch current events and matches live and set reminders for upcoming matches. Some programs, such as Major League Soccer (MLS) and Friday Night Baseballs, are also available in this section, where you can watch football and baseball matches live. Of course, you should know that these services require a separate subscription because they pay a lot of money to the organizers to receive the rights to broadcast the matches. Other sports such as volleyball etc. can also be watched through services that have the rights to broadcast them. It goes without saying that these services may also require a subscription.
