Apple TV+ Is Finally Coming to Android Devices

Well, well, well — look who’s finally coming to Android devices.

Starting today, February 12, 2025, Android customers can watch Apple TV+ on their mobile devices — phones, tablets, and foldables, whatever those are (just kidding, this is what those are). Apple has made its Apple TV app available to Android and Google TV users for the first time ever; customers can subscribe to Apple TV+ and MLS Season Pass via their Google Play account. There’s a seven-day free trial available for Apple TV+.

Apple built the Apple TV app for Android “from the ground up to deliver Android users a familiar and intuitive interface,” according to the announcement. The app will include features like “Continue Watching” and “Watchlist.” Users can stream over WiFi or a cellular connection and can download series and films to watch offline.

The rollout comes in the middle of Apple TV+ hit series “Severance’s” critically acclaimed second season and just ahead of Apple TV+ original film “The Gorge” starring Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Sigourney Weaver, which drops on Friday, Feb. 14 — Happy Valentine’s Day, we guess. (“The Gorge” is a sci-fi thriller about guarding the gate to Hell, but Teller and Taylor-Joy might kiss.)

And then there are the sports. The Apple TV app and Apple TV+ comes to Android devices 10 days ahead of the 2025 Major League Soccer season, which kicks off on Feb. 22. Apple TV’s MLS Season pass offers fans every MLS match with no blackouts.

Plus, pitchers and catchers have already reported to spring training, which means baseball is also on its way. Apple TV+ is the home to “Friday Night Baseball,” a weekly Major League Baseball double-header with no local broadcast restrictions. Apple is now applying the same strategy to soccer: Apple TV+ subscribers will be able to watch the new “Sunday Night Soccer,” which is described by Apple as “a weekly primetime standalone match showcasing MLS’s most compelling matchups.” An Apple TV+ subscription will be enough for “Sunday Night Soccer” — you won’t need MLS Season Pass.

Apple TV+ launched way back on November 1, 2019, so Android users have been waiting more than five years for today. In addition to “Severance,” might I also recommend “Ted Lasso,” “Presumed Innocent,” and “Acapulco?”
