Leagues Cup, the first in-season club tournament in North America across all men’s professional sports, begins tomorrow, July 26, and MLS Season Pass will be the only place where fans can watch every match.
The World Cup-style, monthlong tournament features all 47 clubs from Major League Soccer and Mexico’s Liga MX. All clubs pause their regular seasons to participate in the tournament, which concludes with the top three teams receiving automatic bids to the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup. Leagues Cup includes 77 matches in stadiums across the U.S. and Canada, and fans in more than 100 countries and regions can enjoy all the action with an MLS Season Pass subscription.
The upcoming tournament is the second in a 10-year partnership between Apple and Major League Soccer. Over 1.3 million fans attended Leagues Cup matches in its inaugural year, 2023, when Inter Miami CF defeated Nashville SC to become the first-ever Leagues Cup champions. Lionel Messi, who made his MLS debut for Inter Miami during last year’s Leagues Cup, was awarded Best Player and Top Scorer with a tournament-best 10 goals.
How to Watch on MLS Season Pass
MLS Season Pass will feature every live Leagues Cup match all in one place, with no blackouts. Matches will be available in English, Spanish, or French where available. Subscribers get exclusive on-demand content and the most expansive and accessible programming lineup ever, including Leagues Cup Countdown and Leagues Cup Wrap-Up in English, and Leagues Cup La Previa and Leagues Cup El Resumen in Spanish.
Fans can watch up to four simultaneous matches at once with Multiview on Apple TV 4K devices and on iPad. With the new Catch Up feature, viewers who tune in for a match after kickoff can watch all the key moments before joining live.
Once Catch Up is selected, fans are immersed in a series of key plays — which have been automatically selected — including goals, penalty kicks, red cards, and certain shots and saves. Once each key play ends, users are automatically taken to the next play and can skip between plays at any time.
MLS Season Pass is available through the Apple TV app on Apple devices, smart TVs, streaming devices, set-top boxes, and game consoles, as well as on the web at tv.apple.com. Fans can also access MLS Season Pass from the Apple TV app on Apple Vision Pro, where they can watch games alongside other apps in their physical space; within an Environment, so the screen feels 100 feet wide; and in Spatial Audio for an even more immersive viewing experience.
