How to watch the MLS playoffs in the USA

The MLS Playoffs, including tonight's Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United game, are available through the MLS Season Pass, which currently costs $9.99. This is a reduced rate compared to what would apply at the start of the regular season. With the league now out of the regular season, the playoffs are also available with a standard Apple TV Plus subscription, which also costs $9.99/month. In the regular season, you'd need to get the MLS Season Pass, but if you already have Apple TV Plus now, you should be set for the remaining games in 2024. Inter Miami's opening game will be shown for free.

How to watch the MLS playoffs in the UK and over 100 countries

The MLS Season Pass is the answer to all your MLS needs in more than 100 countries including the UK and Canada. Prices vary from region to region, so you should check the exact offers before subscribing. In the UK, Canada and some other countries, the rest of the season is also only available with a standard Apple TV Plus subscription (like in the US), so there's a chance you won't even need to subscribe to anything new to watch the playoffs to reach.

Do you need Apple TV Plus to get MLS Season Pass?

No, you do not need Apple TV Plus to get the MLS Season Pass. You can sign up for MLS Season Pass without having an existing Apple TV Plus account. However, Apple TV Plus subscribers receive a discounted MLS Season Pass price during the regular season. Now that the regular season is over and only the playoffs remain, an Apple TV Plus account will also give you access to all playoff games available through the MLS Season Pass.
