Choose an available home-team radio commentary during an Apple TV MLS match

An eligible MLS stream can offer a home-team radio track alongside television commentary. The choice sits inside the playing match, and availability should be checked for that event and device.

Open the match before looking for its commentary

Apple’s MLS instructions place the choice in the playback controls. On a television or streaming device, reveal those controls with the remote and select Audio Track. On a phone or tablet, touch the video and open the audio-track control. On a computer, move the pointer over the picture first. A team’s page or an upcoming match reminder is a different screen from the playing video.

Read the team and language in the offered track

The documented options distinguish TV commentary from Local Radio labelled with the home team and language. Select the actual label offered rather than assuming that every match supplies both clubs’ radio broadcasts. In particular, the home team’s commentary is not necessarily the commentary preferred by a supporter of the visiting club. Check the wording before leaving the controls.

Use a short passage to compare the result

For example, two viewers may want the same pictures but different commentary. Keep the match open, switch between its available TV and radio choices, and listen long enough to identify the announcers and language. This is an audio choice within that stream; finding a similarly named radio station elsewhere does not establish that it is the integrated match track.

Keep access and audio provision separate

Apple qualifies local radio with “if available” and notes that sports, features and device support vary by market. Confirm the current match’s viewing access before planning around a particular audio option. If the label is absent, retain the match date, device and available choices when consulting support; changing the app’s navigation language is not a documented way to create the missing track.
