How to Watch MLS 2026 in the UK

For the 2026 MLS season in the UK, the answer is simple: Apple TV. Apple TV is the exclusive global streaming home of Major League Soccer, the UK included, and from 2026 every MLS match — the full regular season, the Leagues Cup, the MLS All-Star Game, the Campeones Cup and the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs — is included with a standard Apple TV subscription. There are no blackouts on MLS matches, and there is no separate add-on to buy. One brand change to note: the standalone "MLS Season Pass" ended after 2025; from 2026 MLS is simply included with Apple TV. So for a UK fan, there is one route, it carries every match, and it is the same anywhere in the world — Apple TV.

Apple TV is the exclusive global streaming home of MLS, and from 2026 every match is included with an Apple TV subscription — there is no separate pass to buy. For a UK fan that means the entire MLS season is available on one service: every regular-season match, the Leagues Cup (against Liga MX clubs), the MLS All-Star Game, the Campeones Cup and the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, all in one place, with no blackouts. Whether you are following Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, one of the league's established clubs, or the whole division, every game is there. Note the brand change carefully: through 2025, MLS streamed via the standalone "MLS Season Pass" on the Apple TV app. That standalone Season Pass brand ended after 2025. From 2026, MLS is included with an Apple TV subscription rather than sold as a separate pass — so a UK fan should not go looking for "MLS Season Pass" as a separate purchase for 2026. Apple TV streams on the Apple TV app across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV box, smart TVs, streaming devices, games consoles and the web. Check Apple for current UK Apple TV subscription pricing.

Not free. MLS in the UK sits behind the Apple TV subscription — there is no free-to-air UK broadcaster carrying live MLS, and Apple TV is the single route. What is free is the usual highlights and clips on MLS's and the clubs' official YouTube and social channels, plus some free MLS content within the Apple TV app at times. But for live matches, the Apple TV subscription is the route. The upside of the single-service model is its simplicity: one subscription, every match, no working out which broadcaster has which game. On timing: most of North America is five to eight hours behind the UK, so MLS matches are an evening-and-overnight watch for UK fans. A typical 7:30 p.m. US Eastern kick-off airs at 12:30 a.m. UK time; West Coast matches are later still. The convenient slots are the weekend afternoon US kick-offs, which land in the UK evening. Because Apple TV carries every match on demand with no blackouts, the practical UK approach is to watch live when the timing suits and catch the rest on replay — the full match is available afterwards on the same subscription.
