MLS Season Pass Xfinity
Sunday Night Soccer consists of a weekly Major League Soccer match every Sunday evening during the 2025 season, with enhanced production and studio programming from Apple. Sunday Night Soccer was already available to Apple TV+ subscribers at no extra cost, and now that perk has been extended to Xfinity X1 and Xfinity Stream customers.

Xfinity customers can find Sunday Night Soccer matches for free via the channel guide, with no Apple TV+ or MLS Season Pass subscriptions required.

Soccer has been so unpopular for at least the past 50 years in the USA as a sport people want to watch on tv. I (and my kids) like PLAYING soccer, but watching it on tv? Nope.

Part of the reason is that the US folks already have enough sports on tv that are hugely popular within our culture that there simply not enough time to watch another sport. We already watch (at a professional level and college) basketball, football, baseball, and hockey. TV has tried pushing tennis, golf, soccer, and over the past 10 years have really been trying to push women's sports. Too many sports and you gotta prioritize.

Another reason is that there simply aren't any/enough clubs after high school. Most States have professional sports teams. Where are the soccer teams? I don't know but my guess is simply not enough interest. No professional sports teams = no weekly tv broadcasts.

Out of all the people I know at work, friends, neighbors as well as my kids' friends/families, I know 1...yes 1...family who watches soccer on tv. And she's our kids' Gym Teacher and the family is from Europe.

Sorry, but televised soccer just isn't going to catch on in the USA.

Honestly, even if they paid me $100 to watch any soccer game from start to finish I would still turn it down. I don't hate soccer but I have absolutely zero interest in watching it on tv.

This news gives some insight into why Apple is pushing MLS so hard with no way to hide the side menu or the promotion tiles in the TV app. Comments from a Major League Soccer executive have come out that they're not getting the viewers they'd get from a linear network. This is clearly in response to that. I hope it works and they get off our backs, I don't like soccer, I just want to hide all sports from the TV app entirely. I'm sick of looking at Messi's face.
