Comcast and Apple Unveil New Integrated Viewing Experience for MLS Season Pass

Comcast and Apple today announced plans to offer all Xfinity customers an integrated viewing experience for MLS Season Pass in time for the start of the 2025 season. Customers can sign up for MLS Season Pass directly through Xfinity and soon find every live match seamlessly incorporated throughout the X1 and Xfinity Stream app user interfaces, making it easy for them to watch alongside their other favorite live sports, without having to switch between apps.

“Xfinity provides customers an unrivaled access to sports entertainment, and our new partnership with Apple will offer soccer fans new ways to immerse themselves in Major League Soccer,” said John Dixon, Senior Vice President, Entertainment, Comcast. “Through this new experience, our customers will be able to easily find, follow, and catch up on their favorite MLS teams with the best seat in the house.”

When the season kicks off February 22, every MLS Season Pass match will be accessible from the channel guide on X1 and Stream in both English and Spanish. With an MLS Season Pass subscription from Xfinity, when a customer selects a game, playback will begin within Xfinity’s viewing experience, without the need to open an app. The matches will also be featured within a curated MLS destination on both platforms, the center for all things MLS for Xfinity customers and accessible by saying “MLS” into the Xfinity voice remote. Additionally, on X1, MLS matches will be available in the Xfinity Sports Zone app, a sports companion experience that gives customers the ability to watch one event while getting live updates on others in progress and quickly flip to different games when the action gets exciting.

Comcast and Apple are also unlocking free access to MLS 360 for all Xfinity customers for the entire season, the first time the program has been available outside of an MLS Season Pass subscription. Available in the channel guide next to other sports channels and throughout the X1 and Stream user interfaces, MLS 360 is a matchday whip-around show featuring live look-ins and highlights from across the league. Comcast plans to make MLS 360 a part of its multiview experience, giving customers the ability to follow all the MLS action on the same screen as other popular sports like NCAA basketball, MLB and NBA & NHL playoffs.

“We’re excited to provide Comcast customers with a new and convenient way to enjoy all the action of MLS Season Pass with no blackouts. Fans also get MLS 360 to stay up-to-speed on the best matchday moments with expert analysis and discussion throughout the league’s 30th season,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s Vice President of Apple Music, Apple TV+, Sports, and Beats.

To celebrate the start of the 2025 season and the launch of the new viewing experience, Xfinity will offer all customers a free preview of MLS Season Pass from February 22 – March 2, accessible on both X1 and the Xfinity Stream app, after which they’ll be able to subscribe to MLS Season Pass through Xfinity.

In additions to access on X1 and the Stream app, customers who sign up for MLS Season Pass through Xfinity can enjoy the service on the Apple TV app on X1, Xumo, Apple TV and other third-party streaming devices.

What Policies Matter to Telco’s Success: Supply Side or Demand Side? ...

T CEO John Stankey recently said that “I’ve never seen federal policy this supportive of market-based investment in advanced networks.” That statement raises multiple interesting investor related questions about what does, and does not, support investment in advanced networks, including the relative importance of those policies that drive supply and those that drive demand, and how government is treating advanced networks versus networks that have lower cost structures but also involve lower pe...

CMCSA: The value unlock trade? Nope. No major change in fundamentals

We shared our view of Comcast’s results this morning. Results were in line and commentary on the business fundamentals were mostly unchanged. In this note following the earnings call and our follow-up conversations, we address the following key investor issues including 1) the big picture value unlock theory; 2) the newly (apparently) amended VZ MVNO agreement; 3) broadband ARPU growth; 4) Connectivity EBITDA growth; 5) 2026 capital spend; 6) wireless net adds, and 7) 2026 FCF.

CMCSA 4Q25 Quick Take: Results mostly in line; Waiting to hear what’s ...

Comcast’s results were mostly in line with estimates. Broadband losses and ARPU were in line. On the call, we would be keen to hear about subscriber trends in 1Q. We don’t expect any major changes to the stock price based on these results. What will drive the stock today is commentary on 1Q broadband trends and potential ‘value unlock’ from an NBCU spin.

Can CMCSA Buy CHTR After the Cox Deal is Done?

With the CHTR/Cox deal moving towards approval and CMCSA out of running for WBD, we are again getting questions as to whether CMCSA could buy the combined CHTR/Cox entity. Further, as our New Street colleagues discussed yesterday, there has been a divergence in the stock price performances of Comcast and Charter driven by a potential ‘value unlock’ resulting from a potential split of Comcast cable from NBCU. It is beyond the scope of our expertise to analyze the financial details that could jus...

CMCSA: Potential Value Unlock?

Investors have been asking about the diverging stock price performance between Comcast and Charter. We believe the reason is an expanding conversation about the potential ‘value unlock’ that could emerge were Comcast to split its cable and NBCU businesses. In this note, we estimate what Comcast could be worth were this scenario to play out. To be clear, we are skeptical. Not that it shouldn’t happen, but rather the Roberts’ are too invested in their belief about the synergy between these entitie...
