Major League Soccer returns this weekend. But unlike previous years, when a separate MLS Season Pass subscription was required, all MLS matches this season will be included free for Apple TV subscribers.

From Apple’s kickoff press release:

Against the backdrop of a milestone year for the sport — as the FIFA World Cup comes to North America — Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries and regions can enjoy access to every MLS match with no blackouts. They’ll also get in-depth coverage and analysis, exclusive content, and matches beyond the regular season — including the annual Leagues Cup tournament, Michelob ULTRA Campeones Cup, MLS All-Star Game, and the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.

All of this MLS content can be found directly in the Apple TV app across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, Vision Pro, Android, and smart TV platforms.

You can sign up for Apple TV here to gain access.

The subscription costs $12.99/month or you can get it in the Apple One bundle.

Subscribers will also gain access to all Apple Originals, such as Severance, Ted Lasso, Pluribus, and the upcoming Formula 1 season in the US.

Apple’s MLS promos across services and apps

Apple’s TV app will be home to MLS, but the company says it will promote the sport through other apps too:

  • Apple Music will feature “club- and player-curated playlists
  • Apple Maps has “Matchday Guides created by MLS clubs and city guides created by players”
  • Apple News lets you “access scores, schedules, standings, and top stories”
  • Apple Podcasts has “an MLS hub with curated podcast episodes and collections covering MLS”

The Apple Sports app is also recommended as the best way to track scores as the season begins.

Will you watch MLS matches this season, and if so, are you new to the sport? Let us know in the comments.

Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.
