English football's 3pm blackout is a well established tradition, with no matches being shown on British television between 3pm and 5pm on a Saturday, with the original aim of increasing attendance of matches across the pyramid by not showing Premier League football on television.
However, this may now be under threat, with the addition of the new MLS Season Pass to the package of subscriptions with which fans based around the globe can watch football. The service, launched in conjunction with Apple TV has been established with the aim of providing more than 100 countries with a comprehensive service to include no blackouts.
Fans will be able to subscribe to the service for a monthly or yearly MLS Season Pass with prices starting from £12.99 for anyone who already subscribes to Apple TV+. This follows in the footsteps of the already established La Liga TV and offers a glimpse of the future for British football fans.
