/in /by

 

The MLS Season Pass is finally here. Fans can now sign up and enjoy the exclusive, original content on Apple TV.

They will have access to a wide variety of on-demand content that celebrates the action, excitement and distinct culture of MLS, including content from MLS clubs, 2023 player profiles, the best league and club highlights from the 2022 season, full replays of classic matches and documentary-style vignettes.

Once the season kicks off on Feb. 25, the MLS Season Pass will feature every live MLS regular-season match, the entire Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and Leagues Cup all in one place, with consistent match times and no blackouts — a first in live sports broadcasting. With an MLS Season Pass subscription, fans can enjoy every MLS match on billions of devices through the Apple TV app on Apple devices, smart TVs, streaming devices, set-top boxes and game consoles as well as on the web at tv.apple.com.

“Having accessibility is huge for the sport. It’s going to help grow MLS not only domestically, but internationally. You’ll have eyes all over watching our games,” says Kellyn Acosta, Los Angeles Football Club Midfielder. “We talk about how we want the league to continue to grow and bridge the gap in comparison with other leagues, and I think having this Apple partnership is a step in the right direction. Leading into the World Cup in 2026, you want to build momentum and gain more exposure, and I think this partnership is going to truly be beautiful. I know my family is excited to have all the games in one place, and I think it’s going to be huge for the league and for the sport in the U.S.”

The MLS Season Pass will be home to the most expansive and accessible content lineup ever for MLS fans, including all MLS and Leagues Cup matches, as well as hundreds of MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT games during the season. Every match features the ability for fans to join the action live or watch it from the start.

It will also include pregame shows and a postgame wrap-up to close each night. To complement the action, MLS Season Pass will offer a five-hour, live whip-around show, capturing all of the key moments from every match from the start of the first matches on the East Coast to the final whistle of the West Coast contests (6:30 p.m. CT-11:30 p.m. CT).

On match days, all live and upcoming matches for the day will be prominently featured on MLS Season Pass, so fans can quickly see what they want to watch. On non-match days, fans can enjoy match previews, club sizzle videos pumped them up for the next showdown, highlights, replays, and more great content. As the season goes on, the pass will feature weekly shows, match-winning goals, great saves and other highlights from the week — all curated to display the best of the action across the entire league.

With the MLS Season Pass, fans can select their favorite club for a more personalized experience throughout the Apple TV app. Once a fan selects their favorite club, their matches will automatically appear in the Up Next watchlist on the app, so they will never miss a moment. Fans can also opt into receiving a notification on their iPhone and/or iPad whenever their match is about to start.

Each club page will offer a single destination to find everything there is to watch on their club. Fans can explore live matches, match previews and other key club elements, including interviews and replays. Fans will also find a schedule of all matches for their club, and enjoy featured stories and highlights that are updated regularly.

Club-curated playlists will be available, featuring songs and artists that embody the cultures of those clubs, as well as two MLS-inspired playlists exclusively on Apple Music, with more music content coming throughout the season. Fans can visit apple.co/AM-MLS on iPhone, iPad or Mac to be directed right to the MLS experience on Apple Music.

When the season kicks off at the end of February, fans can visit Apple Maps to explore dedicated Match Day Guides created by MLS clubs, including Atlanta United, Nashville SC and Toronto FC, and find recommendations for local bars and restaurants to catch a game, detailed information about their stadiums and more. Maps is also launching several new custom-designed, three-dimensional landmarks of MLS stadiums in time for the season openers, including: Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey; Lumen Field in Seattle; and Audi Field in Washington, D.C.

With iOS 16, Apple introduced a new My Sports section on the Apple TV app across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV for users to easily follow their favorite clubs, teams and leagues. Fans can visit apple.co/MySportsMLS on their iPhone or iPad to be directed right to the Apple TV app and follow their favorite Major League Soccer clubs, and get alerts before upcoming games, follow scores in real time and more.

Fans can subscribe to MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app for $14.99 per month during the season or $99 per season, and Apple TV+ subscribers can sign up at a special price of $12.99 per month or $79 per season. A subscription to MLS Season Pass will be included with each full-season ticket account. Through Family Sharing, up to six family members can share the subscription using their own Apple ID and password.
