This Saturday, May 23rd, Apple TV will present a special live Major League Soccer match captured exclusively on iPhone 17 Pro — marking the first time iPhone will be used to capture the entirety of a major professional live sporting event broadcast. Developed in partnership with MLS, the milestone broadcast will feature the LA Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo FC, streaming live on Apple TV from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, during the final weekend of MLS play before the regular season pauses for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in North America.

iPhone 17 Pro will capture live footage throughout the match, including team warmups on the pitch, player introductions, in-net goal angles, and the atmosphere inside the stadium. With cameras positioned throughout the venue, the broadcast will deliver the pristine video quality fans expect, alongside dynamic new perspectives that bring viewers closer to the action, made possible by the small form factor of iPhone.

Apple TV first incorporated iPhone into a live sports broadcast workflow during a September 2025 “Friday Night Baseball” matchup between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers, using iPhone 17 Pro to capture select moments from the game and cinematic in-stadium footage. The milestone production earned recognition from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, which added an iPhone used in the broadcast to its permanent collection. iPhone 17 Pro features three 48MP Fusion cameras, offering the equivalent of eight lenses in a compact form factor and pro-level video features like Apple Log 2 used for this weekend’s broadcast.

Following strong fan response to the “Friday Night Baseball” production, Apple expanded the use of iPhone across additional sports broadcasts — including the MLS Cup in 2025 — before further integrating the technology into the regular production rotation for “Friday Night Baseball” and MLS broadcasts throughout the 2026 season.

This Saturday’s LA Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo FC match marks the next leap forward: the first live professional sporting event captured entirely on iPhone. Tune in to Apple TV at 7:30 p.m. PT to see iPhone 17 Pro in action.

Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries and regions enjoy every MLS match with in-depth coverage and analysis, exclusive content, and more, with no blackouts.

Learn what to do if music starts playing automatically through your car’s speaker when you get in the car with your iPhone.

In most cases, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, or other media app may start playing automatically via your iPhone in your car if you were using one of these music apps a while back, and when you started your car, its Bluetooth or wireless CarPlay auto-connected to your iPhone and resumed the playback.

It can also happen that you or someone with access to your iPhone previously set up a custom automation that plays your favorite music when you connect to the car via Bluetooth or CarPlay. In this case, just turn off or delete the automation.

Stop music from automatically playing when you get in the car

You’ll need to build a simple automation that pauses media when your iPhone connects/auto-connects to your car’s Bluetooth.

1) Open the Shortcuts app and tap Automation.

2) Tap the New Automation button or the plus button (+) to create one.

3) Select Bluetooth from the list of conditions.

4) Tap ‘Choose‘ in the Device section and select your car from the list. Your car’s Bluetooth will only appear here if you have previously connected your iPhone to it. Of course, since music playback starts automatically, it’s almost certain that you were previously connected.

5) Leave ‘Is Connected‘ checked and ‘Is Disconnected’ unchecked. Then, tap Run Immediately so this automation can work without your approval, and tap Next.

6) Tap Create New Shortcut.

7) Use the Search Actions box to find and add the ‘Play/Pause‘ action, which will work for all media apps.

8) Tap ‘Play/Pause‘ and set it to Pause. In case this doesn’t work for you, edit the automation later and change ‘Pause’ to ‘Play/Pause.’

9) Finally, tap the checkmark icon to save your automation.

From now on, when your iPhone auto-connects to your car’s Bluetooth system, any media playback that may start automatically will pause instantly, without you having to do it manually.

If music auto-plays because of CarPlay

If your car has wireless CarPlay and it auto-connects to your iPhone and starts playing music, follow the same 9 steps explained above, but in step 3, select CarPlay instead of Bluetooth.

You can even have both Bluetooth and CarPlay automations to be on the safe side.

If music still plays automatically in your car

In this case, check your car’s media settings to see if music or radio plays automatically at ignition. Turn off settings named similarly to Autoplay music, Autoplay radio, Resume media playback, and so on.

If I manually go to my car’s radio (FM/AM) section even once, it remembers my preference and automatically starts playing the radio the next time I start my car. I don’t like this, and unfortunately, there is no setting in my car’s infotainment system to stop this behavior. But I have noticed that if I use Bluetooth or CarPlay a few times after starting my car, it seems to recalibrate my preference and no longer auto-play the radio.
