Quick Summary<\/h5>\n

For the first time ever, a live football match will be streamed entirely using iPhones.<\/p>\n

It’s happening in the MLS this weekend, and this is how to watch it.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that the camera quality of phones has gotten better and better over the years. It’s a big part of the reason why many have ditched owning a ‘proper’ camera, with the ease of having it in your pocket worth more than the increased resolution.<\/p>\n

But just how good are they really? Well, we’re about to find out, as Apple TV is putting the iPhone 17 Pro to the test in a big way.<\/p>\n

This weekend, the MLS fixture between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo will be filmed entirely using those devices, for the first time ever. That’s not a typo \u2013 there won’t be a professional broadcast camera hidden just out of sight, just a stack of the same iPhone you could go out and buy.<\/p>\n

The brand has been incorporating the devices into its workflow for a few month now, kicking off with some of its baseball coverage in September 2025. However, those are normally part of a larger slew of more professional kit.<\/p>\n

So, will it work? Well, there’s only one way to find out \u2013 tune in and watch the game on Saturday at 7:30pm PT (3:30am BST).<\/p>\n

The game is available to watch for Apple TV subscribers in over 100 countries, and I suspect this one might see higher viewing figures than most, given the interest in the technology. Anyone who isn’t already subscribed can sign up for a one-week free trial, just in time to catch the game.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m really excited to see this. While there are all manner of examples of ‘good enough’ footage from phones, this is one of the first like-for-like tests with real-world significance.<\/p>\n
