It's been a big year for football in the United States.

North America hosted the biggest World Cup ever, with more games held in the US than its co-hosts Canada and Mexico, but now attention has shifted back to domestic matters.
The MLS continues to attract big stars, including most notably Lionel Messi, while there are an increasing number of quality homegrown talents.
That said, UK fans could be forgiven if they're only watching the league to catch the last years of Messi's career, with the Argentine magician still dazzling regularly.
Apple TV have tapped into the increasing interest in the MLS - boosted by Messi's arrival - by bagging a TV deal. We've got all the details below.
Radio Times brings you the complete guide on how to watch the 2025 MLS season live on TV in the UK.

How to watch MLS on TV and live stream
You can tune in to watch every single MLS game exclusively live on Apple TV.
As of 2026, the MLS Season Pass is no more and has been integrated into the normal Apple TV subscription at no extra cost. A subscription costs £9.99 a month after a seven-day free trial.
Apple will also broadcast a bunch of matches for free sporadically throughout the season, so keep an eye on their platform for those encounters.
