MLS and Apple today announced a historic step in their partnership: starting with the 2026 season, all league matches will be available to Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost.

The agreement means that the regular season matches, the Leagues Cup tournament, the All-Star Game, the The Campeones Cup and the playoffs will be included in the standard Apple TV subscription. With this change, the current offering, called MLS Season Pass, will cease to exist at the end of the 2025 season. The decision aims to simplify access to league content and strengthen soccer's presence on Apple's streaming platform, which has broadcast MLS matches in more than 100 countries and regions for the past three years. This full integration comes at a time of expansion for North American soccer, with high expectations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. “Bringing all MLS matches to Apple TV makes it easier than ever for fans around the world to watch and be a part of the game,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber in the official statement. For his part, Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Services, highlighted that the new format will allow access to all matches “in one place.” The league, which celebrated its 30th season this year, is experiencing a period of growth in attendance, digital audience, and franchise expansion. The arrival of international stars like Lionel Messi has helped raise its global profile and attract new audiences. As part of the new scheme, full-season club memberships will include an Apple TV subscription, allowing fans to access not only live matches but also additional content and analysis programs. With this move, MLS reinforces its commitment to direct distribution on digital platforms and expanding its international reach in an increasingly competitive market for sports broadcasting rights.
