Apple is a natural home for football. But the reason why is more complicated than most people have considered.
Global football might be a huge industry, but in financial terms it pales in comparison next to a company like Apple.
So why do Apple want to invest in football?
Nick Harris explains, Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

Shouldn’t the actual title be “Why Apple bought MLS TV rights”?

@Me-ui1zy Ай бұрын

MLS is clearly a starting point

@eksortso Ай бұрын

They're implying that Apple could buy up the rights to big European leagues and do the same thing. Say they pick La Liga, and stream that league around the entire world. They would want to pick a league with growth potential that they could attain the nigh-exclusive rights to. I picked La Liga because if that league could bundle the viewing rights from all their clubs (which they couldn't do in the past and maybe still can't) into a tidy package for an Apple or a Netflix to stream, they'd benefit immensely. But it wouldn't be as easy to get as it was to get MLS, which was a single business entity from the start.

I have to admit football has changed, used to love watching Real Madrid on BeIN sports. The spanish commentators were great, the coverage was great. Now it’s difficult to find matches, some on espn plus. With the MLS pass, I honestly don’t mind it that a company like Apple took it over. You can watch on any device, you can choose between english or spanish, watch live or from the beginning, and immediately after the game is finished you can watch the entire match on replay. The intro before a match and the transitions after goals/replay is clean. As everyone mentioned, there’s no blackouts which is unheard of in american sports. You can watch any club on the season pass. Plus it’s a 10 year deal, even better instead of switching companies very few years. I’m enjoying it.

MLS is a ridiculous championship. Why would anyone pay anything to watch that? Even outside Europe you find much better leagues. Mexico, Argentina and Brazil all have better championships than MLS, let alone any comparison with top European leagues. In the continental tournament, Mexican clubs are almost always the winners against US sides. Last year, Suarez was playing in Brazil and asked to leave in the middle of his 2-year contract citing how physically demanding and competitive the Brazilian championship was for his old age knees. He wanted to join Messi in the much smoother and laid back MLS.

Apple would be a great impact simply because they aren't looking for football to be their main profit maker so will almost certainly offer it cheaper because they are primarily using it to get you into the Apple Eco-system, which leads you to buying their primary profit making products, ie iPhone, MacBook etc... Apple can easily afford to outbid the competition but then offer the product at a knock down price, so you could end up getting a full year of EPL for just £100. That's like two months worth currently.

You didn't mention that Messi's contract includes him getting a cut of all new international MLS on apple tv contracts. If Messi did indeed bring in 1m new subs, that deal has paid him handsomely as well. Another note to include with your numbers is that all MLS season ticket holders receive a free subscription to the platform and in the weeks prior to Messi signing, T-Mobile gave away free subscriptions to MLS for all its subscribers. That is to say the initial 1m subs are probably skewed by promotions and giveaways. Nonetheless it's good to hear the numbers moving in a positive direction.

Apple doesn't disclose how many users their individual digital services have. They lump in all revenue and metrics under "services" and that could mean people buying extra storage on iCloud or Apple Music or people who've rented a movie on iTunes. We have no idea and no way to actually compare that. They give away millions of accounts for Apple TV+ and other services with your new devices every year and yet they convert a schockingly low amount to paying customers after trial. Yet they count all those as "active users" even if they are getting it for free with their phone. I think Prime Video and Netflix are much more globally accessible and inclusive, platform agnostic and that should matter waaaaay more to the leagues than a huge chunk of cash from Apple. I don't think "market cap" has any relation to how much cash any of these companies would be willing to spend. It's more about who sees the most benefit and has the strongest pitch.

@lonestarr1490 Ай бұрын

I did have 2 or 3 months of access to Apple TV+ for exactly the reason you described. And I can't say I'm that shocked by a presumably low conversation rate. I don't remember exactly when that was, but I remember watching Foundation S1 and that awesome Dinosaur documentary. In the next two weeks I watched basically everything from their portfolio I was at least mildly interested in. I didn't watch anything in at least the final 3 weeks of my subscription, because there was virtually nothing left. I don't know if it depends on the region you live in, but at least here in Germany what they had to offer back at the time bordered on 'pathetic' - and not from the non-pathetic side of that area. So I can totally see why extensive investment in the service might be needed.

Also, Apple released a sports result tracking app just out of the blue a couple of months ago called Apple Sports, so I think it's clear that sports is a big focus for Apple.

One thing that Apple didn't take into account or maybe they don't care (same for MLS) is that still not everyone in the US has reliable, high-speed internet for the streaming much less connected televisions. A very large contingent of households still utilize "traditional" satellite television providers. I am in that camp. Despite living about 40 minutes away from the stadium of an MLS franchise, I cannot watch their matches as I live in an area without high-speed internet options. MLS has basically lost me as a fan as there are now very few, if any, matches on television. Premier League, Bundisliga, Serie A, USL, LigaMX and now even NWSL are more prevalent on network television. I get my "soccer/football fix" without MLS. Because I am not able to follow the local franchise as easily, I don't find myself going to their home matches as often either. In short, this "deal" for MLS, is narrowing their scope of reach and not broadening it necessarily. MLS has further alienated itself with fans with the cookie-cutter kits of the franchises (because they are not true clubs), via the exclusive deal with Adidas. MLS is simply boring when compared to other leagues around the world, including the USL in the US. US soccer needs promotion and relegation to "de-sanitize" professional soccer in the US lead by MLS.

Parts of this video felt like an advert for Apple products, which I guess is kind of the point.

Lol. I presume you meant a GOGGLE type headset and not a GOOGLE type headset.

I just want to be able to pay a reasonable price to watch all of my clubs games and not have to find some dodgy stream on 3pm Saturday kick offs 😂 If Apple TV had Prem football for £15 a month I would lose my mind

"If Apple can persuade millions of people worldwide to tune into MLS..." LMAO

For all the good that came from MLS moving to Apple, the one things that I will never forgive them for is ending local broadcasts. Gone are the days of you having your town's local channel air the game with your club's regular commentators who knew the club, players and rumors. Now? Your club is locked behind a paywall and unless you support a larger club, the commentators don't know or care about your club and it's stories. Its all just... artificial

Canada needs to be part of the MLS North America map at 1:07.

You can't convince me that you'd subscribe MLS in the UK or in mainland Europe.

I wouldnt call it popular, but I am sure there is a contingent of people, especially since Messi is there. There are also people who moved from NA to europe.

Personally I would be a huge fan if Apple got the rights to the prem and some other big leagues. I am already paying for multiple streaming services just to watch footy in Canada...

Can't tell if the Apple plugs are sarcasm (especially the bit at the end there) or actually a sponsored video.

Man Microsoft just over took Apple amd became the most valuable tech company.... Microsoft 3.085T usd networth Apple 2.675T usd And apple is the only big tech company to have a fall in stock price this year.... The creators of this video is just trying to close their eye and saying this all is not happening..... And showing football fans with a little tech knowledge acting like PR for Apple I actually didn't expect this from tifo😢

Ted Lazzlo and and Vision Pro, the two ingredients that'll bring us closer to football monopoly. I wish didn't hear that but here we are.

Id be ok if they bought it if that meant that there was one place to watch all the games rather than 3 or 4 subscriptions.

@shatter5874 Ай бұрын

One subscription with access to every league would be a dream

How does AI work thru an immersive experience on Apple Vision Pro? I’m imagining being a 12th man on the field, literally on Messi’s shoulder having “in game” experience- as opposed to sitting in a stadium.
