Apple Announces New Way to Watch MLS Sunday Night Soccer For Free

Starting this weekend, Xfinity customers can watch Apple's weekly Sunday Night Soccer production at no additional cost.

MLS Season Pass Xfinity
Sunday Night Soccer consists of a weekly Major League Soccer match every Sunday evening during the 2025 season, with enhanced production and studio programming from Apple. Sunday Night Soccer was already available to Apple TV+ subscribers at no extra cost, and now that perk has been extended to Xfinity X1 and Xfinity Stream customers.

Xfinity customers can find Sunday Night Soccer matches for free via the channel guide, with no Apple TV+ or MLS Season Pass subscriptions required.

2025 marks the third year of a 10-year partnership between Apple and Major League Soccer.

For customers who prefer to watch Sunday Night Soccer via Apple TV+, the streaming service is available through the Apple TV app on a wide variety of devices, and on the web at tv.apple.com. A free seven-day trial is available.

Honestly, even if they paid me $100 to watch any soccer game from start to finish I would still turn it down. I don't hate soccer but I have absolutely zero interest in watching it on tv.

Soccer has been so unpopular for at least the past 50 years in the USA as a sport people want to watch on tv. I (and my kids) like PLAYING soccer, but watching it on tv? Nope.

Part of the reason is that the US folks already have enough sports on tv that are hugely popular within our culture that there simply not enough time to watch another sport. We already watch (at a professional level and college) basketball, football, baseball, and hockey. TV has tried pushing tennis, golf, soccer, and over the past 10 years have really been trying to push women's sports. Too many sports and you gotta prioritize.

Another reason is that there simply aren't any/enough clubs after high school. Most States have professional sports teams. Where are the soccer teams? I don't know but my guess is simply not enough interest. No professional sports teams = no weekly tv broadcasts.

Out of all the people I know at work, friends, neighbors as well as my kids' friends/families, I know 1...yes 1...family who watches soccer on tv. And she's our kids' Gym Teacher and the family is from Europe.

Sorry, but televised soccer just isn't going to catch on in the USA.

Firstly, for all those commenting how soccer sucks and they will never watch it, thank you for that valuable information.

I watch at least two games of MLS every week. I live in Europe so I watch the games usually on Sunday mornings and afternoons. The MLS UI is still kind of a minefield of spoilers and I don’t understand why the games are full of “MLS on AppleTV will be right back” screens. How difficult can be it be to remove those from full recaps.

For me the level MLS is good enough and I thank Apple for having it available in my country. The streaming quality is really good and the price is definitely right.
