MLS Season Pass on Apple TV: How to Watch and Stream Major League Soccer in 2023

America’s top soccer league is underway for 2023 and Apple’s soccer service is the only way to catch all the action.

Apple’s sports ambitions have expanded beyond baseball. After broadcasting live MLB games on Friday nights last year, the home of Ted Lasso has begun a 10-year deal with Major League Soccer. Apple TV Plus will be the exclusive provider of every MLS game in the 2023 season, which continues this afternoon when LAFC hosts Portland in Los Angeles at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT).

The company’s new MLS Season Pass, which lets you watch on TVs, phones and other devices, costs $13 a month or $79 for the season if you’re already a subscriber to the Apple TV Plus streaming service. If you don’t subscribe to Apple TV Plus, the MLS Season Pass costs $15 a month or $99 for the season.

There are no blackouts for local games and no need to switch between different apps or channels to find different matches. With the exception of a handful of games that will also air on Fox and FS1, the only way to watch MLS games, Leagues Cup matches or games from MLS Next will be with Apple. And it’s not only available in the US: Soccer fans in over 100 countries can subscribe, including Canada, Mexico, the UK and Australia.
