How to watch D.C. United from Africa

The easiest global option is MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, which streams almost every MLS match live and on demand.

Local broadcasters still pick some games, so check sports channels in your country or use the league app to set reminders.

Remember time zones: D.C. United play on Eastern Time (UTC−5 or UTC−4 in summer), so a 7pm kickoff in Washington is late at night in South Africa and early morning in West Africa.

Use reminders and follow club social accounts for live clips if you can’t watch full games.
