<p>Fans of Major League Soccer may be pleased to hear that <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.4000?at=1010l35s4&amp;ct=tedlasso" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple TV+</a> is actively pursuing becoming the home of Pac-12 football in the near future.</p>



<p>According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/21/apple-emerges-as-potential-landing-spot-for-pac-12-football/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Post</a>, the newspaper is reporting that Apple TV+ has emerged as a favorite to acquire the Pac-12 football rights.</p>



<p>It is reported that with ESPN, Fox Sports and Amazon Prime Video undecided on the league, <a href="https://www.deseret.com/2023/2/24/23614091/whos-in-the-running-for-pac-12-media-rights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple could end up broadcasting</a> the games.</p>



<h5>Broadcaster deal up in the air</h5>



<p>The report also claims that Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff could present Apple as a possible broadcasting platform to the colleges soon. </p>



<p>The terms of the deal and whether the universities would be interested in the all-streaming deal is unclear.</p>



<p>Moreover, it also remains to be seen if the deal would be good enough to prevent the participating schools from moving on to other conferences.</p>



<h5>Apple MLS Rights</h5>



<p>Recently, Apple TV+ had started streaming live baseball games on Friday nights.</p>



<p>Apple TV had acquired the rights to broadcast the MLS from this season as the tech giant reportedly paid $2.5 billion to show every MLS match worldwide for the next 10 years as part of a global deal.</p>



<p>This season is the first of MLS’ 10-year partnership with Apple. </p>



<h5>MLS season pass</h5>



<p>The <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS Season Pass</a> is available for fans at $99/year, as an all-inclusive package with in-depth coverage including pre and post-match shows of the league. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="MLS SEASON PASS: How to sign up 👀" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ptGYmENpPm8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

<p>We had also <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/mls-games-available-in-bars-and-restaurants-via-directv-deal-20230220-WST-420504.html">reported earlier</a> that DirecTV will be covering the action of the new MLS season across 300,000 locations, including several commercial establishments, such that fans can catch the action of their favorite teams.</p>



<p>It is believed that an all-in similar deal could be plausible with Pac-12. </p>



<p>Should Apple ink the deal with Pac-12, the streaming service may broadcast more than just conference football for its viewers, and, likely, the production services of the Pac-12 Network could also be used.</p>



<p>Very recently, Apple had put too much emphasis on minor details in contract negotiations, resulting in the agreement with the NFL for the Sunday ticket package failing to materialize. </p>



<p>The deal with Pac-12 may not be easy as the report claims, but it is possible a solution can be reached.</p>

<p>Thanksgiving weekend has sports fans covered, regardless of the leagues, competitions or teams they follow. It all starts on Turkey Day, and runs through Sunday night. From sunrise to sunset, and a little bit on either side of then, major sports are on your TV.</p>



<p>The biggest of those competitions is the World Cup. On Thursday, the first batch of group stage fixtures wrap up. Cristiano Ronaldo and <strong>Portugal</strong> are in action against <strong>Ghana</strong> (11AM ET). This is a familiar tie dating back to 2014. Then, the World Cup favorites, <strong>Brazil</strong>, take on one of the underdog teams at the World Cup, <strong>Serbia</strong> (2PM ET).</p>



<h2>Must-see sports games other than soccer this holiday weekend</h2>



<p>However, Thursday also has American football, a classic tradition for Thanksgiving Day. The <strong>Dallas Cowboys</strong> and Detroit Lions always play on the holiday. Yet, the Cowboys take on one of their biggest rivals, the <strong>New York Giants</strong>, in a Thanksgiving treat (4:30PM ET). Both teams have a winning record, a frankly rare sight for both franchises at the same time over recent years.</p>



<p>However, that is merely the beginning of the Thanksgiving treats on tap in the sports world this weekend. While you are sitting back enjoying your leftovers, Friday, Saturday and Sunday bring more awesome events to the <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/tv/11-7-million-watch-usa-wales-across-fox-and-telemundo-20221123-WST-409568.html">millions watching around the country</a>.</p>



<p>Also, the best way to watch all of the previous and following events is through fuboTV. The streaming service <a href="https:\/\/www.fubo.tv/lp/soccer/?irad=356358&amp;irmp=330866" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fuboTV</a> has access to FOX and FS1 for your World Cup coverage. Moreover, it has CBS and NBC for any American football, both college and NFL.</p>

<h2>Sports offerings on Thanksgiving weekend</h2>



<p>Friday has the big one, at least according to FOX’s coverage of the World Cup. The <strong>United States</strong>, which <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/news/united-states-wales-draw-1-1-some-tough-lessons-learned-20221121-WST-409245.html">drew against Wales</a> in the first game of its World Cup campaign, takes on <strong>England</strong> (2PM ET). The Three Lions, among the favorites to win the entire tournament, breezed past Iran with a <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/news/england-cautiously-optimistic-after-win-over-iran-in-world-cup-20221121-WST-409310.html">6-2 win on Monday</a>. </p>



<p>With another win, England can secure another berth into the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup. However, the United States is determined to get <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/news/world-cup-day-2-newspaper-roundup-20221122-WST-409428.html">back on the right track</a> with an opponent that is something of a rival to the Stars and Stripes. Coverage for the England-USA contest is on <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-tv-schedule/">Friday at 2 p.m.</a> on FOX.</p>



<p>FOX also has the coverage for one of the biggest games of the college football season on Saturday. Rivalry weekend always comes the weekend after Thanksgiving, providing some of the best sports moments. The Iron Bowl, the Civil War in Oregon and other rivalries are one thing. <strong>Michigan</strong> and <strong>Ohio State</strong>, colloquially called ‘The Game,’ have their most important battle in years. The No. 3 and No. 2 teams, respectively, play for virtually a spot in the College Football Playoff. </p>



<p>Finally, looking to the finale this weekend, the NFL slate of games rings out a beautifully busy weekend of sports. Of course, throughout this four-day stretch, there are World Cup games. And, if anything, the unpredictable nature of the tournament thus far proves that fans need to watch each game as anything can happen. </p>
