Apple also introduced Sunday Night Soccer in 2025—a weekly primetime showcase with enhanced production, bilingual commentary teams, and dedicated studio segments—all included for free with Apple TV+. On the visual side, CableTV promised that you can expect crisp 1080p streaming, Dolby 5.1 audio, multi-angle feeds, and enhanced graphics/data in English, Spanish (plus French for Canadian matches).

Only 34 games will be simulcast on FOX or FS1 (via Fox Sports). So unless you’re sticking with old-school cable, Apple TV is your go-to for everything MLS. And it’s not only available in the US: Soccer fans in over 100 countries can subscribe, including Canada, Mexico, the UK, and Australia.
In short: MLS Season Pass on Apple TV is not just watching—it’s experiencing soccer. Every match, recap, documentary, expert take, and live moment is just a button away, with no ads interrupting replays. So yeah, this Season Pass isn’t just a subscription. It’s a full-blown soccer experience.
Monthly and annual subscription for MLS Season Pass
Now, let’s talk money. How much does the MLS Season Pass Apple TV subscription cost?
Starting May 1, the MLS Season Pass got a massive price drop, and it’s now cheaper than your favorite brunch order. MLS Season Pass dropped 30% off its full-season price. So now, non-subscribers pay $14.99/month or $69/year (down from $99), while Apple TV+ subscribers get a lower rate of $12.99/month or $59/year (down from $79).
This means if you’re committed next season, the seasonal plan is the best bang for your buck. With over 980 games—including playoffs, Leagues Cup, and MLS Next—you’re paying under ten cents per game. Switching from monthly to annual saves serious cash for fans streaming every weekend.
However, if you’re just trying it out before committing, monthly is also a viable option. But if you’re ready to scream “GOAL!” all season, the annual plan—especially at $59 offers top value. And if you’re already on Apple TV+, you get that sweet discount slip. Now, let’s dive deeper into the bonus perk.
MLS season ticket holders get the Season Pass free—one per account, shareable with up to six via Family Sharing. Additionally, through partnerships, T-Mobile, Metro, Comcast/Xfinity, and DIRECTV customers have access to promos or bundled plans (via MLSsoccer).
In conclusion, the 2025 MLS Season Pass is priced for fans—rich in content, cheaper than rivals, and built for global access. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a die-hard fanatic, now’s the time to subscribe—and save. With Messi on the pitch and Sunday Night Soccer hype in full swing, missing out would be a foul.
Is there a free trial for the MLS Season Pass?
Upon learning about the subscription rates, readers and fans often tend to seek out free trials. So for those who have been wondering if there’s an option for you to try this Apple TV feature for free—we’re sorry to inform you that the sweet deal has expired.
Back in 2023, when Apple first began this streaming option for soccer fans, they gave a 30-day free trial of the MLS Season Pass for new and eligible returning users. All you needed was an Apple ID, a payment method, and the courage to commit to at least one month of soccer-fueled action (via DigitalSpy).
But fast forward to 2025, that free trial whistle has blown. Sadly, there’s no official free trial on offer right now. Still, all hope isn’t lost! If you’re subscribed to Apple TV+, you get to stream the premium Sunday Night Soccer showdown every week at no extra charge. And if you’re not on Apple TV+, no worries.
You can still catch a handful of games absolutely free as part of Apple’s weekly match offerings. So, while the freebie buffet isn’t endless, you can still get a tasty sample of the MLS magic before you commit.
Is the MLS Season Pass worth it?
Following the subscription rates and the sad news about the lack of a free trial, if you’re left disheartened and wondering whether MLS Season Pass is worth the hype, then let us guide you.
To be honest, if you live in the US, and hate local blackouts, then it’s a solid yes. With this Apple TV feature, you’ll get every match, minus the frustration of jumping between sketchy streams or blocked broadcasts. However, just like NBA League Pass, or F1 TV, this one’s crafted for the hardcore soccer fans.
So, if you’re one of those soccer devotees who wish to watch for all or part of a season, and want in-depth coverage of all things MLS, then MLS Season Pass is your golden ticket. But for someone who isn’t sure if the MLS is for you, and doesn’t wanna ride the full season wave, then we’d advise you to try out some of Apple’s free coverage of the league.
Apple TV gives you a sneak peek with free weekly matches, so you can test the waters without committing to the full soccer buffet. Additionally, Apple TV+ subscribers will be able to watch Sunday Night Soccer games at no extra cost. So, just try that out first, see if it’s worth your hype, then jump in head first.
