The 2024 MLS Soccer regular season is here, and it’s easier than ever to watch on any Smart TV, smartphone or streaming device.
A big highlight for Major League Soccer fans this season is Lionel Messi playing for Inter Miami. He’s a huge soccer star, and his joining the team has made MLS even more exciting.
You can watch all of Inter Miami’s games leading up to the season, including a special game against Messi’s old team, Newell’s Old Boys, on Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass.
The 2024 regular season kicked off on Monday. And once again this season, MLS Season Pass is the main place to see all the games. A MLS Season Pass subscription is $12.99 per month for Apple TV+ subscribers. (Apple TV+ is $9.99 per month on its own.) You can also get MLS Season Pass if you are not an Apple TV+ subscriber for $14.99 per month.
The Apple TV app works with lots of Smart TVs, streaming devices and smartphones, so you can watch from anywhere.

Where to Watch MLS Soccer in the U.S.
Apple took over the streaming rights for MLS as part of a 10-year deal that began in 2023, so you won’t find any games on ESPN and Univision as in years past.
If you are wondering which TV channel MLS Soccer is on, you can still catch some games on FOX, FS1, and FOX Deportes, just like before. FOX struck a separate deal that gave them U.S. broadcasting rights.
The decade-long Apple TV deal for MLS highlights another instance of live sports moving to online streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime and many others.
For soccer fans in the U.S., that has meant turning to ESPN+ for Bundesliga and La Liga, Paramount Plus for Champions League and Serie A, and Peacock for Premier League. Fanatiz likewise streams live international soccer matches on beIN Sports, GolTV and Real Madrid.
Apple TV Plus lets you watch the games in lots of countries — about 100 total — not just the U.S.
