How to Watch MLS on Apple TV in 2026
MLS Season Pass ended after 2025. Here’s how Apple TV subscribers can watch every MLS match in 2026 without blackouts.
Every Major League Soccer match is included with an Apple TV subscription in 2026. Viewers no longer need a separate MLS Season Pass subscription.
Apple says the 2026 package has no blackouts and is available in more than 100 countries and regions. Access can still vary by storefront, so check the Apple TV app for the current schedule in your location.
What changed after MLS Season Pass?
The standalone MLS Season Pass concluded after the 2025 season. Beginning in 2026, Apple moved the complete MLS package into the standard Apple TV subscription at no additional cost for subscribers.
This is a product transition, not just a name change. Apple's transition announcement says older subscribers no longer need to buy MLS Season Pass separately for the 2026 season.
Which MLS competitions are included?
Apple's current 2026 coverage includes:
- every MLS regular-season match;
- Leagues Cup;
- the MLS All-Star Game;
- Campeones Cup;
- the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs;
- studio programming and additional on-demand MLS coverage.
Apple's July 2026 MLS update confirms that subscribers can watch every MLS match without blackouts. This does not imply access to unrelated soccer leagues or tournaments.
Do you need an Apple TV device?
No Apple TV 4K box is required. Apple TV is a subscription available through the Apple TV app and its web viewing destination on supported devices. The hardware, app, and subscription are separate products.
Use the Apple TV app to confirm that MLS programming and the subscription are available in your country or region.
How to find the current MLS schedule
Use the live schedule inside Apple TV or the official MLS schedule for current match times. The 2026 regular season resumed on July 16 after the FIFA World Cup break, but fixture details can change and are not reproduced here.
What happened to existing MLS Season Pass subscriptions?
Apple ended the standalone service after the 2025 season. Treatment of an existing subscription depended on whether it was eligible for conversion, paired with Apple TV or Apple One, or provided by another company.
Apple's MLS Season Pass support page explains the transition paths and says regional access can vary.
