By Will Fulton June 19, 2014

Following its success on the Xbox 360, the Major League Gaming app is now available for your Xbox One, just in time for the MLG Championship broadcast on June 20-22. The app lets you stream all of the leading eSports league’s professionally-produced content directly to both consoles.

In addition to being able to watch the coming weekend’s MLG Championship, which includes StarCraft II, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Killer Instinct showdowns, the app also offers access to the MLG eSports Report news broadcast as well as partner streams from international leagues, like Gfinity and ACL Pro. If you’re a fan of watching people play video games at a far higher skill level than most of us can ever hope to achieve, this free-to-download app is what you’ve been looking for.

The MLG app is available now on the Xbox Marketplace.
