The 2024 Major League Soccer season is coming to a close, with clubs across the United States now firmly on the hunt for the coveted MLS Cup trophy.
Defending champions Columbus Crew were looking to become the first repeat MLS champions in over a decade, while Lionel Messi and Inter Miami give chase having won the Supporters' Shield as the 2024 regular season champion. However, those goals have come crashing down as both sides went crashing out of the playoffs in Round One.
Christian Benteke of D.C. United won the regular season goal scoring title, but his side failed to reach the postseason, so other top scorers like Messi, Denis Bouanga and Luis Suarez will look to lead a title charge. Messi finished the regular season with the most goal contributions of any player in MLS, despite missing significant time due to injury, but has seen his postseason come to an end with early elimination.
Fans around the globe can watch every single match of the season via MLS Season Pass from Apple TV, with some games designated for free access each week to keep fans involved with the latest action from around the U.S. top flight league.
MLS Season Pass free games this week
The 2024 Major League Soccer season is available to watch around the globe exclusively on MLS Season Pass from Apple TV. Each week, Apple designates up to six games which are available for fans to access free without an MLS Season Pass subscription. All fixtures outside of this slate require a subscription to MLS Season Pass to watch.
With the home stretch in view, MLS Season Pass on Apple TV is now offering its lowest price of the season. Fans can sign up for a seasonal subscription to MLS Season Pass for just $9.99 to catch the remainder of the 2024 season, including the MLS Cup playoffs. Existing Apple TV+ subscribers can sign up for a seasonal subscription to MLS Season Pass for free for the remainder of the 2024 season and playoffs.
Free games to watch this week:
While the first slate of Round One matches were made accessible for free on MLS Season Pass, the rest of the playoffs will likely be kept to subscribers only.
It is possible that televised games will also be made available free to access, but so far MLS has not released any indication that more playoff games will be slated for free access.
MLS schedule for this week (Conference Semifinals)
All across the Major League Soccer season, fans around the globe can access every single match of the campaign on MLS Season Pass from Apple TV.
With the 2024 regular season now complete and the playoffs here, Apple has designated the entirety of the opening weekend slate free to air in hopes of putting the MLS playoffs in front of as many individuals as possible.
While every single match from the first set of Round One games were made available for free, it remains to be seen whether any other games the rest of the way will be accessible regardless of subscription level. At this point, it can safely be assumed that all remaining playoff games will be for subscribers only, with only televised games with the potential to be made available for free.
MLS Cup playoffs Conference semifinals
With Inter Miami eliminated alongside the other top three seeds in the Eastern Conference, the bracket has been turned upside down. It leaves a Hudson River derby in one match, while wild card winners Atlanta United travel to Florida again for a meeting with Orlando City.
There's a little more chalk in the Western Conference, where top two seeds LAFC and LA Galaxy remain on a potential collision course for an El Trafico conference final if they can get past the Seattle Sounders and Minnesota United respectively.
