According to some rumors of the past few hours, the first sports contents could finally land on Apple TV +
Apple could enrich the content offered through its streaming platform, finally bringing it sports on Apple TV +. A news that has been circulating with some insistence for months now and relaunched in these hours by some indiscretions shared by the authoritative New York Post.
In particular, the forerunner in the new strategies of the “apple” would be the baseball della Major League Baseball (MLB), the highest American professional league dedicated to team sport very popular in the United States. No football, therefore, unlike the “homegrown” Prime Video platforms (which this year acquired the television rights to broadcast the key Wednesday evening match of the popular UEFA Champions League event), Infinity + (with its rights to 104 big match of the Champions Cup), Now TV and DAZN, which respectively offer the vision of the matches of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League and the entire season of the 2020/21 Serie A and Serie B championship (in the case of Now TV , the maximum Italian tournament offers three races a week).

The MBL would therefore become the scene of the landing of the sports on Apple TV +, but the changes should by no means be generalized. In fact, it seems likely that the inclusion of Major League Baseball matches in the Cupertino platform it will only affect American customers, and this for two reasons: the low popularity of baseball in Italy and the regional limitations of the same rights. In any case, the road seems to have started and who knows what the probable advent of the MLB on Apple TV+ is not just the starter of an “apple” strategy based on sport.
