Apple has launched a new docuseries titled Onside: Major League Soccer, crafted by the creators of Drive to Survive. The series delves into the intense dynamics of the 2024 MLS season, offering exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from players and coaches across the league.
This entire eight-episode series is now accessible on Apple TV+, Apple’s streaming platform. Subscribers of the MLS Season Pass can enjoy the first episode for free, providing them with a glimpse of what to expect from the series.
Produced by Box to Box, Drive to Survive significantly boosted the popularity of Formula 1 in the United States, leading the Netflix series to attract millions of new fans to the sport.
While Apple TV+ has a smaller audience compared to Netflix, which may limit Onside’s potential to become a cultural phenomenon, it undoubtedly aims to enhance the visibility of Major League Soccer ahead of the 2025 season opener this weekend.
The influence of Box to Box is evident in Onside, as it prioritizes storytelling around the individuals involved in the sport, culminating in episodes that reflect the progress of various clubs within the league standings. The series promises an unfiltered, all-access look, offering a perspective on the MLS that hasn’t been portrayed before.
All episodes of Onside: Major League Soccer season one are currently streaming, encompassing the entire 2024 season. It remains uncertain whether Apple will greenlight a second season for the series.
You can stream Onside via the Apple TV app, available on Apple devices, Android, Windows, and more. Additionally, it can be watched in a web browser at tv.apple.com.
