Apple TV to Carry All MLS Matches at No Extra Cost Starting in 2026

The change is designed to expand MLS’s audience under their 10-year rights pact.

Overview

  • MLS Season Pass will end after the 2025 season as all league content shifts to Apple TV’s base subscription.
  • Access will cover every regular-season match plus the Leagues Cup, MLS All-Star Game, Campeones Cup and the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs with no blackouts in more than 100 countries.
  • The move follows 2025 trials such as Sunday Night Soccer and opening the playoffs to all Apple TV subscribers, which produced larger audiences according to the league.
  • MLS club season-ticket holders will receive an Apple TV subscription with their 2026 full-season memberships.
  • Announced at an owners’ meeting, the shift brings MLS alongside Apple TV’s other live sports, including MLB Friday Night Baseball and U.S. Formula 1 coverage beginning in 2026.
