Wednesday night is shaping up to be a thrilling one for Major League Soccer fans, and there's never been a better time to tune in. The 2026 season is in full swing, and with global icons like Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets dazzling crowds alongside the league's brightest young stars, MLS has cemented itself as one of the most exciting—and easiest—soccer leagues to stream in the United States.
Here's the game-changing news for this season: you no longer need a separate MLS Season Pass subscription. That's right—starting in 2026, every single MLS match is included directly with your Apple TV subscription. From regular-season clashes and the MLS Cup Playoffs to Leagues Cup action, studio shows, and exclusive programming, it's all in one place. No blackouts, no fuss—just pure soccer on your phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV.
Apple TV is pulling out all the stops to enhance your viewing experience. Think "MLS 360," a whiparound coverage feature similar to NFL RedZone, plus pregame and postgame shows, match replays, highlights, and broadcasts in both English and Spanish. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, it's designed to keep you glued to the action.
Of course, the biggest storyline this season remains Inter Miami CF and their superstar lineup. Lionel Messi continues to draw massive crowds wherever he goes, and Inter Miami is a marquee club alongside heavyweights like LAFC, Seattle Sounders FC, FC Cincinnati, and Columbus Crew—all expected to battle near the top of the standings.
Wednesday, May 13, brings a busy slate of matchups, headlined by a 7:15 p.m. ET showdown between Charlotte FC and New York City FC on FS1 and Apple TV. But that's just the beginning—there's plenty more soccer to soak in throughout the evening.
Beyond MLS, Apple TV is expanding its sports footprint with MLB Friday Night Baseball and Formula 1 coverage in 2026, solidifying its status as a major player in live sports streaming. So grab your favorite jersey, settle in, and enjoy the beautiful game—all from the comfort of your couch.
