Apple TV is ditching its additional fee to watch MLS games on the platform starting next year.
MLS Season Pass will be no more in 2026, the league announced on Thursday. A $99 fee was necessary to watch the package of games on Apple TV, although existing Apple TV subscribers received a discount. MLS season-ticket holders received Season Pass for free.
MLS Season Pass actually ended up being a thing of the past once the regular season ended, since Apple TV executives already had decided to make the 2025 playoff games available to all subscribers.
The additional MLS Season Pass fee also allowed viewers to watch the action in the Leagues Cup and Campeones Cup as well as the MLS All-Star Game. Now all of that will be available starting in 2026 by subscribing to Apple TV.
