The Reason Apple Might Buy Football

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.

Tifo Football straight up gave us a description of dystopian Apple dominated future at the end there.

The title got me thinking that it would be now called iWorld Cup or iEuros. I got worried, I don’t want Arsenal to play in iEPL.

[andrewworks]

Gotta say I’ve loved it the last year and change, 99 USD and I get each and every game, even one’s broadcast on cable. MLS had a LOT of issues, but the TV deal is far from one of them

[jamesnathanhansen]

If this means South Africa isn't bound to DSTV for football, I'm all for it.

[aliali-ceyf]

isn't Apple's coverage of MLB not very good? careful what you wish for. In America, NBC covers the EPL pretty well, aside from the Peacock stuff.

Apple is on the cusp of revolutionizing sports consumption. The immersive format on the avp for sports is a massive upgrade from watching regular tv. The new MLS clip dropped and I was just stunned for 5 mins straight.

Sports streaming is something that benefits from homogenization. Id much rather pay one subscription to see all the sports than have to get peacock and paramount and ESPN to see all the sports leagues I want to

[omarhamad]

misleading, i thought it talked about how fans have to pay x3 times what they had been paying because of greedy companies

[sunrae]

Soon they sell each half on different streaming services. It has not become more convenient for the customer in the last 10 years, the opposite is true. Here in Europe it feels like you need 20 different streaming services to follow your team for a season. I watch less football it has become annoying. You need a PhD to understand who will broadcast what and when.

If you go into an Apple Store in the US and demo the Vision Pro, the demo includes a few seconds of a 3D view of a Miami Goal from right above the net. I think they are already acting on this idea.

[badboybanton]

With Amazon not putting a bid in for the next set of PL rights Apple potentially missed a trick not purchasing one or more packages.

[eddiebottom]

Anything to get all Prem games on one channel would be awesome.

[tcr]

Felt like I just watched a 7 minute ad

[varghesekodiyaril]

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
And showing football fans with a little tech knowledge acting like PR for Apple
I actually didn't expect this from tifo😢

[MauriceGucci]

It's only a matter of time until you watch the Prem on Apple TV.

[shatter]

One subscription with access to every league would be a dream

[nelsondenby]

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...

[datboiMaRkItOsWaY]

1:28 lol it’s Univision not Univisio 😂

[Its_Croaker]

I would not complain if Apple buys the Bundesliga. Everything is better than ducking DAZN and SKY

[ervinmiracle]

American here. Apple plus is one of the few streaming services I don't have - All the others I only have primarily to watch EPL (peacock and NBC Sports, CL (Paramount Plus), ESPN+ (FA Cup, La Liga, Bundesliga and Carabou). I almost got it for Ted Lasso though!🤣
