MLS Season Pass is your all-access portal to all things Major League Soccer. It lives on the Apple TV app (which is different than the Apple TV hardware, or the Apple TV+ subscription service). It costs $15 a month or $100 for the season if you don’t have Apple TV+, or $13 a month or $80 for the season if you do. And as a reminder, if you’re a T-Mobile subscriber, you can get MLS Season Pass for free this season as part of the T-Mobile Tuesdays promotion. Just be sure to sign up by March 14.

An MLS Season Pass subscription gets you every single minute of every single game, plus the playoffs. You’ll also get MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games, so you can check in on the MLS developmental leagues, too. Plus there are pregame and post-game shows, the MLS 360 wraparound show for highlights as they happen, and features on your favorite players and teams.

MLS Season Pass is available on pretty much any modern streaming platform, from Roku and Amazon Fire TV to Google TV and Android TV, and of course, Apple TV. It’s also available on Android and iOS devices, on various smart TVs, and in a web browser. You’ll just need an Apple ID, and the Apple TV app.

Will you benefit from the Apple TV’s new 21:9 aspect ratio?
Apple TV WWDC

Apple this week released the latest developer beta of tvOS 18.2, the software that powers the company's Apple TV 4K streaming media devices. As previewed during the WWDC 2024 keynote, the new software includes support for 21:9 and several other aspect ratios that are wider than 16:9, which has become the dominant shape for modern TVs.

Why does that matter?

The best way to watch free OTA TV is finally on Apple TV
The Tablo over-the-air TV streaming device with an Apple TV 4K.

You can now use the fourth-generation Tablo with Apple TV. That's it. That's the tweet. OK, I'll expand. That means you can now use the best device for watching free, over-the-air (OTA) broadcast channels on what we consider to be the best streaming hardware you can buy.

It's been a long time coming. This fourth-gen Tablo has been available for about a year. And in that time, it's worked great on the major platforms like Roku and Amazon Fire TV. You connect an antenna to the Tablo, fire up the app, and watch — and record — free broadcast channels on multiple devices. And you can do so on up to four devices at once, depending on whether you get the two- or four-channel Tablo. You'll also get a number of free, ad-supported channels — because you can't go anywhere in 2024 without running into a FAST channel.

What is Apple TV+? Price, devices, features, how to get it, and more

Apple TV+ may not be one of the oldest streaming services out there, but since its arrival in 2019, it's gone head-to-head with streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu since day one. It prioritizes exclusive content, so you won't find a library of shows and movies you already know and love. Instead this streamer has been pushing out amazing new shows like Ted Lasso, For All Mankind, Silo, and Foundation. There's even access to Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer for sports fans.

With no ads, Apple TV+ has cemented itself as one of the best streaming services out there, and has amassed an estimated 25 million subscribers over the last five years. It's estimated, because the company has a penchant for offering free promotional subscriptions to those who buy a new Apple device like an iPhone or MacBook.
