New York City FC vs New England Revolution is available to watch live on Apple TV, which holds exclusive streaming rights to every MLS regular-season match, playoff game, and Leagues Cup fixture.

New York City FC host New England Revolution at Citi Field in a Major League Soccer Eastern Conference fixture with playoff implications for both sides.
Pascal Jansen’s side have not won in their last five MLS matches, collecting three draws and two defeats in a run that has left them seventh in the East. Their most recent outing ended in a 0-0 draw with Nashville SC, a result that did little to ease the pressure on a squad that has been unable to string wins together through the final stretch of the regular season.
New England Revolution arrive in New York in considerably better shape. Marko Mitrovic’s side sit fourth in the Eastern Conference and have shown they can score freely on the road, with a 3-0 win at DC United and a 3-1 victory at Columbus Crew both coming away from home this season.
The Revolution’s most recent result, however, was a 2-1 defeat to LA Galaxy, which tempers the momentum slightly. Mitrovic will want a response on the road as the league’s postseason picture begins to sharpen.
For NYCFC, this is a fixture they cannot afford to lose. Seventh place offers a foothold in the playoff picture, but the gap to the teams above them could widen quickly if results do not improve at Citi Field.
TV channel and live stream details for the match are listed below.
