“Xfinity provides customers an unrivaled access to sports
entertainment, and our new partnership with Apple will offer soccer
fans new ways to immerse themselves in Major League Soccer,” said
John Dixon, Senior Vice President, Entertainment, Comcast. “Through
this new experience, our customers will be able to easily find,
follow, and catch up on their favorite MLS teams with the best seat
in the house.”
When the season kicks off February 22, every MLS Season Pass
match will be accessible from the channel guide on X1 and Stream in
both English and Spanish. With an MLS Season Pass subscription from
Xfinity, when a customer selects a game, playback will begin within
Xfinity’s viewing experience, without the need to open an app. The
matches will also be featured within a curated MLS destination on
both platforms, the center for all things MLS for Xfinity customers
and accessible by saying “MLS” into the Xfinity voice remote.
Additionally, on X1, MLS matches will be available in the Xfinity
Sports Zone app, a sports companion experience that gives customers
the ability to watch one event while getting live updates on others
in progress and quickly flip to different games when the action
gets exciting.
Comcast and Apple are also unlocking free access to MLS 360 for
all Xfinity customers for the entire season, the first time the
program has been available outside of an MLS Season Pass
subscription. Available in the channel guide next to other sports
channels and throughout the X1 and Stream user interfaces, MLS 360
is a matchday whip-around show featuring live look-ins and
highlights from across the league. Comcast plans to make MLS 360 a
part of its multiview experience, giving customers the ability to
follow all the MLS action on the same screen as other popular
sports like NCAA basketball, MLB and NBA & NHL playoffs.
“We’re excited to provide Comcast customers with a new and
convenient way to enjoy all the action of MLS Season Pass with no
blackouts. Fans also get MLS 360 to stay up-to-speed on the best
matchday moments with expert analysis and discussion throughout the
league’s 30th season,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President
of Apple Music, Apple TV+, Sports, and Beats.
To celebrate the start of the 2025 season and the launch of the
new viewing experience, Xfinity will offer all customers a free
preview of MLS Season Pass from February 22 – March 2, accessible
on both X1 and the Xfinity Stream app, after which they’ll be able
to subscribe to MLS Season Pass through Xfinity.
In additions to access on X1 and the Stream app, customers who
sign up for MLS Season Pass through Xfinity can enjoy the service
on the Apple TV app on X1, Xumo, Apple TV and other third-party
streaming devices.
