Former Union TV analyst Danny Higginbotham will call the team’s season opener for Apple TV

Union fans who tune in to the team’s season opener on Apple TV’s streaming platform this weekend will hear a familiar voice. Danny Higginbotham, who was the Union’s local TV analyst in 2021 and ‘22, will call the game with longtime former New York Red Bulls and ESPN play-by-play voice Steve Cangialosi.

The Spanish-language broadcast will be handled by Sergio Ruiz and Miguel Gallardo, both of whom used to work on Orlando City’s local Spanish-language TV broadcasts.

Here’s a look at who’s calling all of the games around MLS this weekend on Apple TV, Fox, FS1 and Fox Deportes.

If you’re just coming back to following the Union for the first time since last year’s championship game, know that there’s been a big change in how to watch. Apple started a new 10-year, $250 million-per-season broadcast deal with MLS this year that puts every game on Apple’s MLS Season Pass package — but no games on local TV anymore.

This weekend, all 14 games leaguewide are free of charge to watch. There are also two national TV games, one on Fox and Fox Deportes and the other on FS1 and Fox Deportes. Those games are available on TV and the Apple platform, with different announcers for each platform.

Once games go behind Apple’s paywall, the package will cost $14.99 per month or $99.99 for the year. If you already have Apple TV+, you can get it for $12.99 per month or $79.99 for the year.

If you’re a T-Mobile or Metro cell phone customer, you’re in luck: you can get MLS Season Pass free through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, until March 14. Click here for more details and instructions.

Going forward, Apple will offer six games per week free and the rest behind the MLS Season Pass paywall. Each team is expected to have around 14 games free this season.

There’s also a whiparound show every game night called MLS 360, with real-time highlights of all the goals, cards and other big plays.
