If you want to watch New York Red Bulls matches during the MLS season and other major competitions, there are several options available to follow the team. The easiest way to watch every game is through an Apple TV subscription, which now includes all MLS matches with no separate season pass required.
Streaming and TV Options for New York Red Bulls Matches
For the upcoming Major League Soccer season, the broadcasting landscape has shifted significantly. Instead of purchasing a standalone MLS Season Pass, all regular-season games, playoff contests, and Leagues Cup matches are bundled within the Apple TV subscription service. This change allows fans with existing Apple TV accounts—whether for popular shows like Ted Lasso—to stream all New York Red Bulls games without extra fees.
The Apple TV app can be accessed on a range of devices including smart TVs, gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox, and mobile devices running iOS or Android, making it convenient for viewers to watch matches anywhere.
Television Broadcasts on FOX and FS1
While Apple TV holds exclusive rights to all MLS matches, key New York Red Bulls fixtures will also be shown simultaneously on FOX and FS1. These national broadcasts cater to fans who prefer conventional TV viewing through cable or over-the-air antennas. However, only selected “marquee matchups” appear on these channels, so most games will exclusively be on Apple TV.
Options to Watch New York Red Bulls Matches for Free
It is possible to watch some games without a subscription. MLS and Apple provide a weekly selection of free matches that do not require an Apple TV subscription; viewers only need to sign in with a free Apple ID to access these games.
Additionally, matches broadcast on FOX can be viewed at no cost using a digital antenna, making them accessible to those without cable. Nevertheless, FS1 games require a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service such as Fubo or DirecTV Stream, each of which offers new subscribers a free trial lasting about five days, allowing temporary access to live MLS coverage.
Accessing New York Red Bulls Highlights and Full Game Replays
If you miss a live game, full replays are available immediately after the match on Apple TV. Fans can choose to watch the entire match or opt for a condensed version highlighting the key moments. For quick updates and notable plays, the MLS YouTube channel and New York Red Bulls’ official social media pages upload highlight reels usually within an hour after matches conclude.
For expert opinions and detailed analysis, websites such as GOAL’s MLS news section provide postgame reports, including player ratings and discussion points that deepen fans’ understanding of each game’s impact.
