How do I watch replays of MLS games?

I am only seeing the shorter recap option for replays. How do I watch the entire game replay on the Apple TV app?

Update on my findings related to the availability of a full game replay of this past weekend’s Philadelphia/Montréal match:


Sunday Afternoon (3/19): full replay option was not available


Monday Afternoon (3/20): full replay option was available


Tuesday Afternoon (3/21): full replay option was not available


Wednesday Afternoon (3/22): full replay was available


The fact that a full replay has only been available every other day would almost be funny, if not for how maddening this whole thing is. Maybe the contract stipulates that the full game replay is only available on even-numbered days. 😝

I too have been very disappointed with the functionality.

I use the MLS app on a Roku and on chrome browser on my PC, with sometimes on an iPhone.


I travel a fair amount, so it was great that it was global. However, not being able to see the replay, and even when it sort of worked knowing the score is a really poor UI experience.


Not what I expect from Apple.


I'd almost rather go back to my YouTube TV DVR with the local NBC Sports net coverage.

I've finally figured out how to watch replays and hide scores on Roku.

On Roku, click on the Settings in the Apple TV app, hide sports scores.

Then find your team, in the east or west conference.

Then click on that, scroll all the way to the bottom, and click and HOLD on the how to watch option.

There will be 3 options, highlights, or full replay in Eng or Spanish.


I have still not figured out if there is a way to do it in the browser. Which really sucks, as that is the way I would like to watch replays when traveling.

As ajlimberis describes here, after selecting the game you want to watch, you have to scroll to the bottom of the page, where a black window says "How to Watch MLS Season Pass." Select that, then hold that INFO button, and two or three options should appear (Highlights, 90 minute game, and sometimes Spanish). Good luck. After many weeks of aggravation with Apple & Comcast, it now works every time for me.

Ring-tailedRoarer, thanks for your response! I'd seen ajlimberis' suggestion, and tried it. But when I went back and tried again now, I found my way through at last.


Now if I could get rid of the spoilers (final score displayed). I followed the instructions I'd seen online for Comcast users - several obscure steps in the Apple TV+ app. It all went exactly as described. But when I go back to my TV, the scores still display.


Does someone have a solution that worked for them, for TV's running on Comcast/Xfinity?
