Apple drops MLS Season Pass to lowest price this year
Apple has cut the cost of its MLS Season Pass for the remainder of the 2024 season, bringing the fee down to its lowest price for the calendar year.
The streaming service, which gives viewers access to all remaining regular season games and the playoffs, was priced at $14.99 but has now fallen to $9.99/month in the USA and Canada.
It is also available for free to all Apple TV+ subscribers.
Though the remainder of the current season is available at a reduced rate, the MLS Season Pass will renew at a standard full-season price until canceled.
What to expect from the rest of the MLS season
The regular season concludes on October 19, with Inter Miami CF currently leading the Eastern Conference and LA Galaxy sitting atop the West.
With the home advantage going to the team with the better record once the playoffs roll around, there is sure to be some feisty competition ahead of that deadline.
An exciting race for the Golden Boot is also shaping up, with former Premier League strikers Christian Benteke and Luis Suarez tied for first and third respectively.
Before then, the Campeones Cup will be shown on September 25, pitting reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew against Liga MX champions Club America.
Columbus is hoping to become the second team to win multiple Campeones Cup crowns after Tigres UANL achieved the feat last year.

Looking ahead to the rest of the season
The beginning of the post-season will be marked on October 23 when the eighth and ninth-placed teams from each conference compete in a wild card best-of-three series to claim the final spots in the quarterfinals of the MLS Cup playoffs.
The quarterfinals will also be decided by a best-of-three series but one-off games, with the option of extra time and penalties, will decide who progresses thereafter.
The final is set for December 7, 2024.
Will Lionel Messi, who returned to Inter Miami training in a limited capacity last week, be fit enough to lead Inter Miami’s title charge?
Could Olivier Giroud or Marco Reus wrap up their first Stateside season by bringing the cup home for LAFC or LA Galaxy respectively?
These are questions that can only be answered on the football field.
What is included in MLS Season Pass?
