Finding an event in the app does not mean it is included with an Apple TV subscription. Apple identifies selected live Friday Night Baseball, MLS, and Formula 1 events as available with an Apple TV subscription in supported locations. Other listings may lead to third-party branded subscription services or rental and purchase content, which the Apple TV subscription does not include. Check the event page for its watch options and confirm availability for your country or region.
