It’s a great time to be a soccer fan. We’ve just had EURO 2024 and now Apple announced that Leagues Cup is making a comeback. Starting July 26, the World Cup-style tournament returns to MLS Season Pass on Apple TV for about one month.
The first in-season club tournament in North America, Leagues Cup starts today, and MLS Season Pass will be the only place where soccer fans will be able to watch every match.
This time around, the tournament features all 47 clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Mexico’s Liga MX. Furthermore, all clubs will put their regular seasons on standby in order to participate in the tournament. The latter will conclude with the top three teams receiving automatic bids to the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.
The entire tournament includes 77 matches in stadiums across the United States and Canada, and fans in more than 100 countries and regions can watch the action with an MLS Season Pass subscription.
This is the second tournament in a 10-year partnership between Apple and Major League Soccer, so expectations are higher, especially when it comes to attendance and number of people watching via an MLS Season Pass.
Last year, over 1.3 million fans attended Leagues Cup matches, which was won by Inter Miami CF, which defeated Nashville SC in the final to become the first-ever Leagues Cup champions.
Soccer star Lionel Mess was awarded Best Player and Top Scorer with a tournament-best 10 goals. Is going to make a comeback this year? It’s unclear due to his ankle injury, which might prevent him from helping his team retain the Leagues Cup champion title.
