MLS Season Pass, Apple’s exclusive streaming service for Major League Soccer, is back for the 2024 season. While the full price is $99 for the season, there’s a clever way to save money and avoid paying full price. This guide reveals how to secure a significant discount on MLS Season Pass, ensuring you enjoy all the action without breaking the bank. Season ticket holders already enjoy free access, and T-Mobile customers might see free offers return this year. But for everyone else, read on to discover a valuable money-saving tip.
Understanding MLS Season Pass
MLS Season Pass is the result of a decade-long partnership between Apple and Major League Soccer. It grants access to every MLS match, regardless of location, eliminating blackouts. The package also includes playoff games, Leagues Cup matches, a live whiparound show for Wednesday and Saturday games, live streams of MLS Next and MLS Next Pro matches, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. This comprehensive offering consolidates all MLS coverage into a single, convenient platform.
Unlocking the Discount: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s how to save $20 on MLS Season Pass:
1. Secure Your Apple TV+ Trial
Apple TV+ three-month trial offer at Best Buy
If you don’t have an active Apple TV+ subscription, visit Best Buy or Target. Both offer three-month free trials for new and returning subscribers (Target requires a free Target Circle membership). If you’ve already used these trials, consider having a family member sign up and share the subscription through Apple Family Sharing. If a free trial isn’t an option, a one-month Apple TV+ subscription for $10 still yields a $10 discount on MLS Season Pass. You can subscribe through the TV app on iOS devices or the Apple TV website.
2. Cancel Apple TV+ Immediately
