Major League Soccer has the cleanest legal streaming setup in American sports. Since 2023, Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass has been the exclusive global home for every MLS match — no blackouts, no regional restrictions, no rotating broadcast partners. The 10-year, $2.5 billion deal runs through 2032. With Lionel Messi at Inter Miami through at least 2027, MLS is the most-watched soccer league in the US measured by total streaming hours during the Apple era.

Multi-view, condensed matches and replays
MLS Season Pass on Apple TV 4K supports 4-stream multi-view during simultaneous matchdays — useful on Saturday nights when 8-10 matches kick off in a tight window. Every match is available on demand within minutes of the final whistle, with a “condensed game” ~12-minute replay published for every fixture by the next morning. Pre-match and post-match shows from MLS Season Pass studios run live on matchdays.
The fixtures widget at the top of this page surfaces upcoming MLS matches alongside other US-relevant soccer fixtures (Premier League on Peacock, Champions League on Paramount+, USMNT and USWNT international matches).
