Apple announces that Major League Soccer (MLS) returns to Apple TV tomorrow, July 16, following the end of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Apple says the regular MLS season resumes as the tournament wraps up. The service is available to Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries, and Apple reports that no separate subscription is required to watch MLS matches.
In addition to the match availability, Apple highlights related tie-in features across its platforms. 9to5Mac reports that the MLS return is accompanied by new Apple Maps guides and Apple Music playlists, along with additional content and experiences distributed through Apple Sports and Apple Fitness+. Together, the updates are presented as part of Apple’s broader promotion of MLS on Apple TV.
The announcement consolidates MLS’s return timing and accessibility details, while also pairing it with Apple ecosystem features. Both sources agree on the return date and that viewing is tied to Apple TV rather than requiring an extra subscription.
