Watching Sports in iTunes
Go Team!
The Super Bowl is arguably the most important US sporting event of the year.

iTunes has highlights of the game here.

Beyond the Super Bowl, the iTunes Store has a huge collection of sports programming, both TV shows for purchase and podcasts which are free. (There are over 6000 sports related podcasts as of this writing.) The selection of sports programming depends on which country's iTunes Store you are viewing.

Live streaming of sporting events isn't available; most of what you will find are game highlights and analysis.

To find TV sports programming:

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. Choose the iTunes Store from the left pane.
  3. Across the top of the iTunes Store window is a black toolbar showing the different types of iTunes media. Hover over the TV shows listing. A downward arrow will appear to the right of the words TV Shows.
  4. Click the downward arrow and choose Sports from the dropdown menu.
  5. You will see the different sports-related TV shows.
  6. Click on a show and you will see the available episodes.
  7. At this point you have three options to receive the TV episodes:
    • Click the Buy Season Pass button. If you buy a Season Pass, all current episodes are downloaded immediately and new episodes are downloaded to your Mac as they are released.
    • Click on the Buy button of an episode. That single episode will download to your Mac.
    • Hover over an episode. To the left of the episode title a Play button will appear. Click the Play button to listen to or watch a 30 second preview in iTunes.

In the US iTunes Store, TV Shows usually cost $1.99 or $2.99 per episode. Podcasts are free.
