MLS Season Pass Returns for 2025 Season
Apple has opened sign-ups for the 2025 MLS Season Pass, offering comprehensive coverage of Major League Soccer. Subscribers gain access to every match without blackouts, along with in-depth analysis, exclusive content, and more. The package includes Leagues Cup, MLS All-Star Game, playoffs, and select MLS NEXT Pro matches. The season kicks off on February 22, 2025.
Early Matches and Free Previews
Preseason matches, including LAFC vs. Club América and Inter Miami vs. Orlando City SC, are part of the package. Apple TV+ subscribers can watch these two games for free. The new "Sunday Night Soccer" program offers a free featured match each week with enhanced production and dedicated pre- and post-game shows in English and Spanish. The first broadcast is on February 23, featuring LA Galaxy vs. San Diego FC. This new initiative is similar to Apple's foray into other sports streaming, as seen with X Money.
Subscription Options and Availability
MLS Season Pass is available via the Apple TV app. Pricing is $12.99/month or $79/season with an existing Apple TV+ subscription, and $14.99/month or $99/season without. T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers can access it for free through the T-Life app starting February 18. Comcast Xfinity and DirecTV customers get a limited free preview starting February 22, with subscription options available afterward. This broad availability across platforms mirrors strategies seen in services like Google Wallet.
