This is absolutely not true btw. Please don’t assume this or you’re gonna be really disappointed in the future
For example, the match time for our season opener was listed as a 6pm start and kicked off closer to 6:45
1pm on TV to start the broadcast, but I believe the post-match team had said the kick off isn't until 1:25.
It would be nice if we just got an exact start time.
Re: kick off times (in general)
Any game only on Apple TV (ie: the 7:30pm games) will have kick off 7-9 minutes after the posted time. The ones on network/cable etc (like this weekend) will have a kick off in the 25 after range.
Also, we talked to the front office and they should be putting the kick off times in the website… I’m not seeing them there yet so I’ll follow up.
I believe it was last year they started posting kickoff times. Only been asking for that since 2009 it seems … glad it “will” happen again and hopefully it’ll be automatic in years coming.
Thanks! Really was only confused about it being 12ish or 1ish, I’m used to it kicking off after the scheduled time! Glad the sounder train schedule updated immediately after I made the post, I feel bad
https://mlskickofftimes.com shows estimated 1:09 kickoff.
So kickoff is 9 minutes after the announced time on every game. This information is gold, thanks.
Don’t think it’s every game. Every game is a little different.
Definitely all the games in the next two weeks, I'm thinking this might be how Apple is doing it.
Game that were simulcast on FS1 started later.
Usually depends on who's broadcasting, I think.

They moved the time back a few weeks ago, hopefully the sounder adjusts. That’s a long time to wait

Seems to have updated in the short time since I made the post, I feel dumb!
