Apple adds Major League Soccer to standard streaming subscription

Apple Inc on Thursday announced that all Major League Soccer matches in the US will be available to stream in 2026 as part of its standard Apple TV offering.

The Cupertino, California-based consumer electronics company will no longer charge additional fees for access to coverage via its MLS Season Pass, and instead all of the matches in the 2026 season will be made accessible to subscribers of its streaming service at no additional cost.

"This year marked Major League Soccer's 30th season, underscoring continued expansion and sustained growth across the league. Strong performance across viewership, attendance, and digital and social platforms highlights MLS's growing presence throughout North America and beyond," Apple said.

The change marks the latest development in the company's push to improve its sports coverage on the platform, and follows an announcement in October that the company had secured exclusive five-year US broadcasting rights for Formula One.
