Whether you’re a die-hard MLS fan or a newcomer courtesy of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, there’s plenty to keep you going now that Major League Soccer is back, especially in the Western Conference. And we’re heading into week three. 2. Not sure which game to tune into? Start by checking out what’s not behind Apple TV’s paywall.
One of those games will be a Florida rivalry game between Miami and Orlando on Saturday (4:30 p.m., FOX) at the newly renamed Chase Stadium in Fort Martin, Florida. Lauderdale.
However, this hit was only part of the Western Conference side’s games, and we’ve selected three games to watch.
Real Salt Lake LAFC
Saturday, 2pm Apple TV; MLS season pass
OK, you’ll need a season pass to see this, but it’s a good one. Last week, in their victory over Miami thanks to the heroics of Messi and others, Real Salt Lake displayed a powerful offensive line led by designated player Diego Luna.
Luna and Salt Lake will look to get back to form against reigning MLS champion LAFC. LAFC has had a busy offseason with player transfers, with their best player Dennis Bouanga aspiring to pastures in Europe. LAFC didn’t appear to have any major problems as they opened the season with a 2-1 win over Seattle last Saturday.

Unthinkable.

While we generally don’t recommend playing two games at the same time, the benefit of a season pass is that you can relive these games whenever you want. This game will be one to watch after another California Classic, but Seattle still emerged as one of the better teams in MLS after Week 1, moving into fifth place in the MLS Power Rankings. are doing. When these two met last season, both teams won 2-1, splitting the series. New year, similar core…it should be interesting to see what unfolds.
