It’s main– beginning with the 2026 season, all Major League Soccer (MLS) matches will be readily available to stream on Apple television at no additional expense. Presently, users need to purchase a Season Pass to the tune of $15 a month if they wish to see. And they didn’t even get a discount rate for being Apple television customers (a membership presently costs $13 a month).
If you have Apple Television (the streaming service, not the box), you will be able to enjoy every regular-season match, the yearly Leagues Cup competition, the MLS All-Star Game, the Campeones Cup, the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and more. The existing MLS Season Pass membership will end at the end of the 2025 season.

Formerly, Apple made 2025 MLS Cup playoffs complimentary to expect all Apple television customers, which was something of a dry run for this statement. It’s not simply the matches either, Apple television will use studio programs and associated on-demand streaming material.
Soccer, Friday Night Baseball is readily available to see for complimentary and, as of just recently, Apple has the unique broadcast rights in the United States for Formula 1 races– all of that will be readily available at no additional expense. Which is most likely why the MLS Season Pass system needed to go.
This is likewise why the existing $13 a month membership rate might not last long.
By the method, the news for this broke on ESPN, which is owned by Disney, which is presently in a spat with YouTube television over television circulation rights. The television streaming world might quickly deal with some significant modifications.
