Apple TV to Stream First Professional Sports Event Shot Entirely on iPhone 17 Pro
On May 23, 2026, a Major League Soccer match between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo FC will be broadcast exclusively using iPhone 17 Pro cameras.
A Historic Broadcast
Apple TV will air a Major League Soccer match captured entirely on iPhone 17 Pro, marking the first time a professional live sporting event is broadcast using only smartphones. The match between LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo FC is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT on May 23, 2026, from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Building on Previous Tests
Apple TV previously used the iPhone 17 Pro for select segments during a September 2025 baseball broadcast. The technology was then expanded for subsequent MLS productions, paving the way for this full-game test.
Technical Capabilities
The iPhone 17 Pro features three 48MP cameras and Apple Log 2 video capabilities, enabling professional-grade production quality for live sports coverage.
This broadcast represents a significant shift in live sports production, demonstrating the potential of consumer-grade devices for professional broadcasting.
