Major League Soccer matches will be available on Apple TV without an extra subscription in 2026 with the league doing away with the current MLS Season Pass sold as an extra package.

The move comes after the league announced that this year's MLS Cup playoffs would be available to all Apple TV subscribers.

Apple TV acquired the exclusive global broadcasting rights for the MLS in 2022 through a decade-long agreement valued at approximately $2.5 billion.

The platform began streaming the league in 2023, the year the MLS gained global attention with Argentine superstar Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami.

MLS and Apple are eyeing a growth in interest in football as the United States co-hosts the World Cup with Mexico and Canada next year.
