Let's face it, folks. Sometimes venturing out to the stadium just isn't in the cards. Maybe you're channeling your inner sloth, or perhaps you've got a rabid raccoon guarding your parking spot (stranger things have happened). Whatever the reason, fear not, fellow Union supporter! You can still catch all the action of the Boys in Blue from the comfort of your couch (or bathtub, no judgement). Here's your one-stop guide to becoming a pro at watching the Philadelphia Union from the great indoors.
Channel Surfing 101: The Television Edition
Gone are the days of frantically flipping through channels, desperately hoping you land on the right broadcast. These days, things are a bit more streamlined, but there's still a little detective work involved. First things first, check the opponent. Is it a nationally televised game? Then you might be in luck and catch it on a network like ESPN or FOX (although, let's be honest, they might be too busy showing reruns of curling to spare a glance at Major League Soccer).
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
If it's a more local affair, you might need to dig a little deeper. MLS Season Pass on Apple TV is your best bet these days. Think of it like Netflix, but for beautiful people who appreciate the finer points of offside traps (and maybe Taylor Swift, no shame).

QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Let's be real, cable packages are about as relevant as dial-up internet these days. That's where streaming services come in to save the day (and your wallet). Platforms like YouTube TV offer MLS Season Pass as an add-on, so you can catch all the Union action alongside your favorite cat videos (because, priorities).
