MLS free games on Apple TV this weekend: Which matches are streaming free on MLS Season Pass?

The 2024 Major League Soccer season is in full swing, with clubs across the United States jockeying for position and hoping to secure a spot in the postseason, which gives them a chance to push for the MLS Cup.

Defending champions Columbus Crew are looking to become the first repeat MLS champions in over a decade, while Lionel Messi and Inter Miami give chase.

Additionally, Messi headlines a thrilling top goal scorer chase as last year's winner Denis Bouanga of LAFC looks for another individual crown, pushed so far by Real Salt Lake's Cristian Arango and Christian Benteke of D.C. United. The LA Galaxy appear resurgent following a few down seasons, and FC Cincinnati continues to establish itself as an Eastern Conference power.

With the league into the thick of the MLS Cup playoff chase, the home stretch is nearly here as both conferences feature razor-thin margins at the edge of the postseason cut line.

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.

On Saturday night, the Vancouver Whitecaps host San Jose north of the border. Against the worst team in the league, Vancouver are in desperate need of points to keep themselves afloat in the playoff race, sitting just six points above the final qualifying spot.

The Sunday spotlight is a match in Seattle as the Sounders host Sporting KC. Seattle sit fifth in the Western Conference, one point above the aforementioned Whitecaps, while KC are on life support eight points adrift of a playoff position.
