Apple has signed a deal with Major League Soccer (MLS) that will see the company stream every MLS match for 10 years starting in 2023. The partnership will allow fans to watch all MLS, Leagues Cup, and select MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT matches in the Apple TV app.
Starting in early 2023 through 2032, fans can watch every live MLS match by subscribing to a new MLS streaming service, that will be available exclusively through the Apple TV app. The service will include game replays, highlights, analysis and other original programming. Apple says select MLS and Leagues Cup matches will be available at no additional cost to Apple TV+ subscribers, with a limited number of matches available for free. Access to the new MLS streaming service will be included as part of MLS full-season ticket packages. Unlike with several other sports streaming deals, there won’t be any regional blackouts.
