Watch MLS in Europe

Major League Soccer’s international viewing setup becomes much simpler in 2026: MLS and Apple confirmed that, starting in 2026, every MLS match will be available to stream for Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost (and the standalone Season Pass ends after 2025).

European fans still ask two practical questions:

Is there a free, legal way to watch MLS?

What’s the cheapest legal way to watch every match in my country?

This guide focuses on popular European football markets with strong interest in MLS and shows the official websites to stream or subscribe.

Can you watch all MLS matches in Europe for free (legally)?

No. There is no legal service in Europe that streams the entire MLS season for free.

What does exist:

• Selected free matches or free marquee events on Apple TV from time to time (availability varies). One clear example: Apple has streamed MLS Cup free on Apple TV in the past.

• Free highlights and clips via official MLS channels (not full live matches).

Free legal alternatives: highlights, clips, and news

If you don’t need full matches live, these are the best legal free sources:

MLS official site: https://www.mlssoccer.com MLS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MLS

The “cheap but realistic” viewing plan (works across Europe)

• Want every match: Apple TV subscription (country price above).

• Want occasional live games: watch Apple TV’s selected free matches / marquee free events when offered.

• Want to follow storylines cheaply: highlights on MLS official site/YouTube.

Final take

For most European countries, the 2026 picture is simple:

Apple TV is the only consistent low-cost route to full MLS coverage, while “free” options are limited to selected games/events and highlights.
