US Broadcasters — What You Get for Your Money
Apple TV's MLS Season Pass, Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN+, FOX Sports — what each one carries, what it costs, and which leagues live where.
US sports streaming used to mean cable. Now it’s five rectangles on a smart-TV home screen. Apple has MLS. Peacock has the Premier League. Paramount+ owns the Champions League knockouts. ESPN+ aggregates La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A. FOX Sports keeps World Cup, USMNT qualifiers, and the Big Ten.
The math gets interesting when you stack subscriptions. A Peacock + Paramount+ + ESPN+ bundle runs about $26 a month — cheaper than a single tier of cable used to be, and it carries every major European league plus MLS Cup playoffs.
Each broadcaster page below breaks down what’s actually on the platform, what it costs, and the gotchas (blackouts, regional restrictions, double-pay traps).
