In a huge update for soccer fans, Apple and Major League Soccer (MLS) just announced that from 2026, every single MLS match will be available to stream for Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost. This is a big shift from the current pass-based model and fantastic news for subscribers.
This move simplifies things significantly. The standalone MLS Season Pass, which was a separate purchase, will be discontinued after the 2025 season. From 2026, all of that premium soccer content will be rolled directly into the standard Apple TV subscription.
This new structure builds on the momentum of the past three seasons, but it makes access much easier. It also comes at a perfect time, with massive anticipation building for the 2026 FIFA World Cup being held in North America.
An Apple TV subscription will give you access to every live regular-season match with no blackouts. But it doesn’t stop there; you’ll also get the entire Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, the Leagues Cup, the MLS All-Star Game, and the Campeones Cup.
On top of the live games, the service will continue to provide in-depth studio programming and a wide library of on-demand content. This creates a single destination for fans in over 100 countries to follow their favorite teams.
For existing Apple TV subscribers, you don’t have to do anything—the MLS content will simply appear as part of your service in 2026. For those who get full-season ticket packages from their MLS clubs, Apple has confirmed that an Apple TV subscription will be included with those packages.
This is a brilliant move for both Apple and MLS. It adds incredible value to an Apple TV subscription, placing MLS content right alongside Apple Original series, films, and other live sports. For fans, it means no more blackouts and no separate pass—just all the soccer you want, all in one place.
