MLS full match replay on Apple TV

I cannot for the life of me find out how to watch full MLS game replays on Apple TV. Only 7-minute recaps show up. If this is the case it’s a HUGE blunder/limitation and needs to be fixed ASAP. This is considerably worse than prior seasons of MLS where you at least had the option to record a game to watch later. What if you want to watch two games that are being played at the same time? What if you are doing something else on Saturday night? If I’m wrong about all this and the option for full replay exists it should be EASY to find

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Go to "Past Matches"
  2. Click on the match recap clip
  3. Scroll to the bottom; you should see a black box: "How to Watch"
  4. Click "2 versions"
  5. Select the 90-minute version
  6. Shake your head in amusement

Thanks. I did turn off scores in settings>apps>TV. No problem there although I’m sure many people have to Google how to find it. My complaint is that the interface shows scoring even if it doesn’t show scores. For example, when I click NE Revs as my team the first thing I see is that Kessler scored a goal. You can correctly assume a lot from that since it’s the only “Key Play” listed. If I scroll down there is another area called Brilliant Goals and it shows me that Kessler scored in 89’. Again, I don’t want to know that if I don’t want to know the score. Scroll down further and finally I get what I want at the top: Past Matches. I click that and the only thing I see is a screen advertising Saturday’s game (if I click it defaults to Recap as only option). So, I discover that you can scroll down (but why would I since what I think I want is there (but not)?) When I scroll down I see for the third time that Kessler scored a goal—I correctly presume now the only one. Finally, at the very bottom I see How to Watch Season Pass and tiny thing saying Press and Hold for 3 versions. INSANE! Someone needs to be fired!

I found the answer. When to go to the MLS Season Pass main screen, if the game you want to watch is being featured, you will see a white button with the "Go To Game", click it.


You will see a "Watch" button when you click it, it will give multiple choices on how to watch the whole game.

The problem is that it is not consistent, you may have to scroll down to the bottom to find the whole game.

I hope it helps.

Some matches give me the option to long press and select one of two or three options (recap, full match replay, spanish version), but not the STL vs SJ match. It didn't even have the recap option last night and today you can only watch a recap, no option for full match replay. Not to mention it's on the bottom of a page filled with gameday highlights and scoring. What a horrendous rollout.

I just clicked on the Miami v. Galaxy "How to Watch" on Feb 26 2024 and did not get a "90 minute" version. Only 7 minute recaps in English and Spanish. Apple TV has not only NOT improved over 2023, but has gone backwards if that is possible! THERE EVIDENTLY IS NO WAY TO WATCH A FULL GAMERAEPLAY. Time to cancel my subscription. Knew Garber made a mistake with this media deal.

Really only two things matter if you are a fan: watch the game live or watch it later, and those two choices should be front and center of the design. All the rest is secondary. Another problem: I’ve turned on hide scores, but what’s the point when Matchday Goals and Late-Match Goals are smack in your face? They really need to fix this.

The scores in the TV app on the Apple TV box in countries where it has a sports tab, those scores should be able to be set hidden with a setting in Settings﹥Apps﹥TV﹥. To reach the team that makes decisions for settings on the web and in the Apple TV app on various devices, it is best to send your feedback comments through the feedback form: Feedback - Apple TV App - Apple.
