How to watch MLS for free on Apple TV
There are a few ways to watch Major League Soccer matches for free on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
The most common method to watch MLS games free of charge is to wait for the league to announce which matches are available each week for free access. Most weeks through the regular season, MLS will designate certain games for free broadcast on Apple TV.
Most weeks, one or two games are assigned for free access, but the amount of matches designated each week for free broadcast can vary. Some weeks no matches are assigned to air above the paywall, while other promotional weeks every single game is available for free access.
During the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs, the league has a promotional discount that has dropped the subscription price for the remainder of the season to just $9.99, but there’s an important subsection to this. Any Apple TV+ subscriber can access MLS Season Pass for free.
Thus, all current subscribers can access the rest of the matches left in the season for free. Because Apple TV has a 7-day free trial available, it’s possible to trigger the free trial and therefore access MLS matches for free during the duration of the trial.
How much does MLS Season Pass from Apple TV cost?
For the remainder of the 2024 season, including the MLS Cup playoffs, Apple has reduced the price of an MLS Season Pass subscription to its lowest rate yet.
To access every match the rest of the way, it will cost just $9.99 for new subscribers, while existing Apple TV+ customers can access the service for free.
At the beginning of the season, the cost for a subscription across the entire campaign was $99 for new subscribers and $79 for current Apple TV subscribers. Midway through the campaign, the price was halved to $49 for new subscribers and $39 for existing Apple TV subscribers.
Then with just two weeks to go in the regular season, the price was again slashed to the current offering, allowing new customers to sign up and follow along for Decision Day and the MLS Cup postseason run.
Does Apple TV and MLS Season Pass have a free trial?
For the 2024 MLS season, there is unfortunately no free trial offered for MLS Season Pass from Apple TV.
This is likely because Apple and MLS both view the occasional free games offered throughout most match weeks as their version of a free trial.
