How It Works Inside the Game

Starting March 16, players will be able to stream four key MLS matchups through the app’s embedded Apple TV section. Think ESPN Zone meets mobile grind session. Players don’t just get to stream matches—they’ll see custom player items, choose themed squads, and get FC-themed rewards tied to match outcomes.

It’s fan engagement 2.0: integral, optional, and perfectly timed to MLS’s growing global appeal.
