Overview
- MLS owners approved ending the standalone Season Pass after 2025, with all regular-season games and marquee events available to Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost and with no blackouts worldwide.
- The package includes the Leagues Cup, MLS All-Star Game, Campeones Cup and the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs beginning with the 2026 season.
- Full-season ticket holders will receive an Apple TV subscription in 2026, replacing the prior perk of free Season Pass access.
- The shift follows 2025 experiments such as Sunday Night Soccer and opening the playoffs to the core Apple TV tier, which the league says delivered meaningful viewership lifts.
- The revised setup aligns MLS with Apple’s other live sports, including Friday Night Baseball and U.S. Formula 1 coverage, while raising new questions about revenue-sharing under the 10-year deal that guarantees MLS about $250 million annually.
