New demand, Messi's fans remain dissatisfied with the MLS Season Pass

The Argentine Lionel Messi, who faces his first full season in the MLS, is the great attraction of the American soccer league, which opened subscriptions to the MLS Season Pass platform, which broadcasts all the games on Apple TV in the second of the ten years agreement.

After registering great numbers in the 2023 season, the first in collaboration with Apple TV and the first with Leo Messi at Inter Miami (it arrived in the middle of the year), the Season Pass reported this Monday of the opening of subscriptions for fans in more from 100 countries. “The first year of our partnership with Major League Soccer exceeded expectations and brought more fans to MLS than ever before,” said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services. “We look forward to building on that momentum, celebrating Messi's first full season with the league and giving MLS fans the best experience possible,” he added.

The MLS Season Pass will also broadcast all Leagues Cup, MLS All Star and MLS playoffs matches. In addition, it will be possible to follow Messi on his international preseason tour, with matches against Al Hilal, Al Nassr, a selection of Hong Kong players and Japanese team Kobe. It will also be possible to watch the last friendly of the preseason, against Newell's Old Boys at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

“The launch of MLS Season Pass was a transformative moment for our league, as soccer fans around the world were able to watch MLS games without restrictions and with excellent production quality thanks to our partnership with Apple,” said Don Garber, MLS commissioner.
