This page Watch on Apple TV (4K, HD, and 3rd generation) - Apple Support indicates that you can watch it on a 3rd generation but also indicates you need 16.2 or later. See the following excerpt:

If you have Apple TV 4K, an Apple TV HD, or a third-generation Apple TV, you can find Apple TV+, MLS Season Pass, Apple TV channels, movies, and TV shows in the Apple TV app.


To learn which Apple TV you have, see the Apple Support article Identify your Apple TV model.

Note: MLS Season Pass requires tvOS 16.2 or later.


But the following (and at least 3 other sources I have checked) indicate that only the 4K and HD models can upgrade to tvOS 16.2. About Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD software updates - Apple Support
