How to watch FC Cincinnati in 2026

Just in time for the new 2026 season, here is your guide to how to watch the Queen City’s Major League Soccer team!

Apple TV

Unlike the past few years, new in 2026 is every MLS game is available on the base Apple TV subscription! No extra $100 package needed. This includes all regular season matches, Leagues Cup, Playoffs, and all of the additional content the league and teams are producing. All for the ever-increasing price of $13 a month!

Devices

Despite the name, you do not need an Apple TV device to watch these games. The Apple TV app, which is different than Apple TV, is available on a number of different devices including, but not limited to Roku, Android, and even most smart TVs. This is in addition to every Apple device out there. That being said, the Apple TV streaming box is the best out there if you can swing the price.

Extras

With MLS moving to the base Apple TV subscription, in 2026 you get a ton of extras along side MLS. On the sports front, Apple is now the American home for Formula 1 races. Apple also has two MLB games every Friday during the MLB season including the Cincinnati Reds. Then there are the TV shows and movies available that are generally very high quality and have done very well in industry awards.

Over the Air

Last year, FC Cincinnati matches were re-broadcast on Fox 19 two days after the matches were played. We are still waiting to hear if that will continue in 2026, but that may be an option to watch games without a subscription locally.
