The 2025 Leagues Cup clash between Orlando City and Atlas will be broadcast exclusively on the MLS Season Pass via Apple TV, kicking off at 23:10 UK time on August 2, 2025. British viewers will want to tune into this exciting encounter featuring top talent from Major League Soccer and Liga MX as part of Phase One's revamped competition format. The seasoned commentary team for this fixture includes main commentator Josh Eastern, co-commentator Jamie Watson, and sideline reporter Antonella González, all providing expert analysis and coverage from the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

The MLS Season Pass, Apple TV's dedicated streaming service for Major League Soccer matches, offers full access to the tournament, including this pivotal game where Orlando City seeks to build momentum in the revamped Leagues Cup structure. Since all Phase One games pit MLS sides directly against Liga MX teams, the stakes are high with only the top four from each league progressing to the quarterfinals, making every game critical[1].

Josh Eastern, the main commentator, brings extensive experience in football broadcasting, known for his insightful play-by-play commentary that captures the tactical nuances of the game. His work across various football tournaments has made him a trusted voice for viewers seeking an in-depth understanding of the match flow. Partnering with him, Jamie Watson provides complementary expert co-commentary. Jamie, a former professional footballer, utilises his on-field experience to deliver strategic insights and breakdowns of key player performances and team dynamics. Their combined expertise enhances the viewing experience, especially during contests with high tactical stakes like this one.

Antonella González, the reporter, offers on-the-ground updates, player interviews, and real-time reactions from the sidelines. Her journalistic background and fluency in Spanish and English allow her to connect with players and coaches from both clubs effectively, enriching the broadcast with context and emotional resonance.

From a footballing perspective, the match holds particular intrigue due to Orlando City's rapid offensive playmaking and Atlas’ struggle to maintain defensive solidity. Orlando City, fresh off a narrow penalty loss to Pumas UNAM, rely heavily on Argentine midfielder Martín Ojeda’s attacking creativity. Additionally, defender Rodrigo Schlegel has recently contributed unexpected goals, marking him as one to watch in this game[1][2]. Atlas, meanwhile, aims to correct defensive frailties after conceding early goals in previous matches and will look to forwards like Serbian striker Uroš Đurđević to make an impact[2].

The game marks the first-ever meeting between Orlando City and Atlas, adding a fresh competitive edge to the encounter. Fans attending or following via MLS Season Pass can expect a well-contested match with implications for the Leagues Cup standings as both sides aim to win crucial points in the group phase[2][3].

Kick-off from Inter&Co Stadium is scheduled for 6:10 PM Eastern Time (23:10 UK time) with pre-match activities and fan engagements taking place from 3:00 PM ET, including stadium technology upgrades and improved food and beverage offerings that enhance the matchday experience for attendees[3].
