Apple has announced a major ten-year deal with Major League Soccer (MLS) that will see the Apple TV app become the exclusive destination of every single live MLS match starting in 2023 and running through 2032.

This partnership will allow fans around the world to watch all MLS, Leagues Cup,1 and select MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT matches in one place – without any local broadcast blackouts or traditional pay TV.

Fans can get every live MLS match by subscribing to a new MLS streaming service available exclusively through the Apple TV app. A broad selection of MLS and Leagues Cup matches, including some of the biggest matchups, will also be available at no additional cost to Apple TV+ subscribers. A limited number of matches will also be available for free.

Access to the new MLS streaming service will also be included as part of MLS full-season ticket packages.

Access can be had across iPhones and iPads; Macs; media players including Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Chromecast; PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles; and all major smart TV manufacturers including Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, TCL and more. Those lacking any of those options can also watch via any browser accessing tv.apple.com.
