Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Season Pass add-on will be discontinued after 2025, with all MLS matches included for Apple TV subscribers in 2026.
- Coverage would reportedly span every regular-season game plus Leagues Cup, the All-Star Game, Campeones Cup, and the MLS Cup Playoffs.
- The change follows 2025 experiments that lifted the paywall for Sunday Night Soccer and the playoffs and yielded higher viewership, with analysts noting Apple TV’s far larger audience than Season Pass.
- The move would place MLS alongside MLB Friday Night Baseball and Apple’s incoming U.S. Formula 1 rights as live sports offered in the base service.
- Details on any adjustment to Apple’s roughly $250 million-per-year, 10-year agreement with MLS were not disclosed, and official confirmation from the parties had not been issued.
