Apple TV box does not shows Sports

I’d like to watch MLS Soccer on my older Apple TV (A1427), OS 7.9. But the link to Sports does not show. We do subscribe Apple TV+ and see shows available there (like Ted Lasso). But there’s no link to Sports. On the Apple TV app on my iPad, I can watch sports. And I can use Airplay to broadcast to the Apple TV. However, I want to eliminate the need for my iPad.


Is my older Apple TV somehow not compatible with sports on Apple TV+??

That would the 3rd gen, which is over 10 years old and no longer receiving updates. It did previously receive a version of the TV app, to be included as one of its server based channels, however it may have reached a point where it will not receive any future enhancements. If you want an official answer you can contact Apple directly.
