As of May 1, Apple’s MLS Season Pass is available for 30% off when you sign up for the season. But if you’re not sure yet, the May 18 Sunday Night Soccer matches will be available to Apple TV+ subscribers, with or without MLS Season Pass. MLS Season Pass is available for 30% off for the rest of the season. The regular season ends on Oct 18.Sunday Night Soccer’s Eastern Conference match will see the No. 6 Orlando City visit the No. 5-ranked Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi. Their last two matches ended in a draw, while their March 2024 meetup saw Inter Miami rout Orlando 5-0. Orlando won six of the team’s matchups while Miami won five, but Messi’s crew remains the favorite for Sunday’s meeting.Over on the West Coast, No. 5 LAFC will visit No. 15 LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park. Known as El Trafico (after LA’s infamous congestion), it’s one of only two crosstown derbies in the MLS. The teams have historically been very closely matched, with Galaxy winning 10 matchups to LAFC’s nine. The unpredictable LA Galaxy are the reigning MLS Cup champs, but have yet to win a match this season. Of course, meeting their crosstown rival may motivate them to notch a W. Both matches will be available to Apple TV+ subscribers, with or without Apple’s MLS Season Pass add-on. And if you catch the futbol bug, you can sign up for the rest of the 2025 MLS season for 30% off.* Apple TV+ subscribers also save on the cost of a monthly or a season subscription. Most sports fans must contend with a confusing patchwork of streaming and linear channels, on top of regional blackouts. MLS Season Pass makes catching soccer games incredibly simple; it’s a single streaming subscription that covers every league match, including the finals, and there are no regional blackouts.MLS Season Pass is available through the Apple TV app, and while Apple TV+ subscribers save on Season Pass, an Apple TV+ subscription is not required to sign up for MLS Season Pass. The regular season, which began on Feb. 22, ends on Oct. 18. *Savings based on full season pricing. Offer valid for 2025 season plan only; plan automatically renews at standard full season pricing until canceled. Offer excludes MLS Season Pass monthly plan.
