Watch LAFC v St. Louis CITY SC on Apple TV: Max Bretos Calls the Shots for MLS Clash at 02:30 UK Time

Football fans in the UK tuning in late on Sunday, 15 March 2026, can catch Los Angeles FC hosting St. Louis CITY SC in Major League Soccer at 02:30 UK time via Apple TV. This Western Conference showdown at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles promises fireworks, with LAFC riding high after three straight wins and clean sheets to start the 2026 season[1][3]. While traditional British broadcasters like ITV, BBC, Sky Sports or TNT Sports are not covering this fixture, Apple TV holds exclusive MLS rights, delivering top-tier coverage to subscribers across the pond.

Leading the Apple TV broadcast is main commentator Max Bretos, a veteran voice in US soccer circles with a storied career spanning ESPN, Fox Sports and beIN Sports. Bretos, who has called hundreds of MLS matches and international fixtures including World Cup qualifiers, brings his trademark energy and deep tactical insight to the mic. Joining him as co-commentator is Brian Dunseth, a former MLS defender who played for the New York Red Bulls and LA Galaxy before transitioning into punditry. Dunseth’s analytical style, honed through years at FOX Sports and SiriusXM, offers viewers a defender’s perspective on defensive battles—crucial given LAFC’s impenetrable backline that has conceded zero goals in league play[1][3].

For radio enthusiasts, SiriusXM FC provides an alternative with Dave Denholm on commentary duties. Denholm, known for his passionate calls on MLS and USMNT games, has built a reputation over two decades at SiriusXM, where his encyclopedic knowledge of the league shines through. Whether streaming on Apple TV or tuning into SiriusXM, UK supporters have prime options to follow this early-season thriller.

LAFC enter as clear favourites, sitting third in the standings with nine points from three victories, outscoring opponents 6-0 in MLS action[3][6]. Star forward Denis Bouanga leads the charge with five goals across all competitions, including a strike in the recent Concacaf Champions Cup draw against Alajuelense[1]. David Martínez tops MLS scorers for the Black & Gold with two goals, supported by the likes of Son Heung-min who boasts eight shot assists[3][6]. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been pivotal, marshalling a defence that’s posted three clean sheets[5]. Manager Marc Dos Santos faces a juggling act, balancing MLS ambitions with Champions Cup commitments, but he’s targeting a perfect 12 points from the opening four games[4].

St. Louis CITY SC, languishing in 14th with just one point from three matches (0-1-2 record), travel to LA seeking their first win[2][3]. New head coach Damet will rely on striker Simon Becher, the only constant in their rotating front three, alongside Marcel Hartel—last season’s standout who netted their lone MLS goal this term[1][5]. Midfield creativity from Hartel and potential combinations with Jeong and Teuchert could test LAFC’s defence, though injuries like Tomas Totland’s leg issue hamper their depth[1][5]. Historically, St. Louis have struggled against LAFC, earning points just twice in prior meetings[3].

Recent head-to-heads underline LAFC’s dominance: a 3-0 win in September 2025, 2-2 draw in April, and further victories in 2024[3]. LAFC’s form extends to a 5-0-1 record across MLS and Champions Cup, scoring 14 goals while conceding two[1]. St. Louis, meanwhile, have drawn once and lost twice recently, shipping four goals[3]. Key stats favour the hosts: LAFC average 16 shots on goal per game versus St. Louis’ 15, with superior possession and duel wins[6].
