You don’t need to be a football fanatic to know the name Lionel Messi. The pocket-sized Argentinian is deserving of just about every adjective in the book. In a career spanning almost 20 years at the pinnacle of football, Messi has cemented himself as one of the very best players to ever grace the game.

After topping off an already jam-packed trophy cabinet with a win at the2022 World Cuplast year, Messi has set his sights on conquering a new league – the MLS. In a recent interview, the Argentine announced his intention to join Inter Miami when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends in the summer.

The deal isrumouredto include some noteworthy add-ons, including a cut of the MLS Season Pass subscriptions that come as a result. That’s theApple TVservice which allows users to access every single minute of action across the MLS.

Subscriptions cost £/$99 per year, or £/$79 if you’re already an Apple TV+ subscriber. And, right now, there’s ahalf season deal, where users can sign up to watch the remainder of the action for just £/$49 (£/$39 if you’re already subscribed to Apple TV+).

That represents one of the best value packages on the market for watching football. In the UK, where TV rights are spread amongst multiple providers, users could easily spend more than that eachmonth– and still not get access to every game.

I recently gave it a try when the service was free-to-all for a weekend. I watched a couple of games and was impressed with the overall quality of the transmission. The quality of the football isn’t bad either – and it’ll only get better with players like Messi entering the fray.
