The 30th season of Major League Soccer kicks off this weekend, with every team playing matches on both Saturday and Sunday.
New Apple TV Jersey Patches
To mark this special milestone, Apple has introduced unique Apple TV patches for each of the 30 MLS clubs. These patches will be displayed on the left sleeve of every team’s jersey throughout the season. Each patch is designed to reflect the unique logo, colors, and identity of each club.
Here’s an example of what the new patch looks like for Inter Miami CF:
Tech expert Jacob Krol from TechRadar gave us more insights into these patches. He also interviewed Emeka Ofodile, who leads Apple’s sports marketing globally. Previously, MLS jerseys featured a simple black or white Apple TV logo. But for 2025, each team gets its special design.
Apple and MLS Partnership
2025 is the third year of a decade-long collaboration between Apple and MLS. Fans can watch all the games by subscribing to MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app. In the U.S., this service costs $14.99 monthly or $99 for the entire season. Apple TV+ subscribers enjoy a discount, paying $12.99 monthly or $79 for the season.
A new highlight this year is that Apple TV+ subscribers can watch one MLS game every Sunday night without needing an MLS Season Pass subscription. The first game of this series will feature San Diego FC, the newest team, playing against the current champions, LA Galaxy, at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Apple TV App Now on Android
In other news, last week saw the Apple TV app becoming available on Android phones, including access to the MLS Season Pass.
This blend of tech and sports continues to bring fans closer to the action in exciting new ways.
