After a month-long break caused by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Major League Soccer is back. Starting July 16, fans will again be able to follow all regular-season matches via Apple TV. The return of play coincides with the comeback of many World Cup participants and the transfers of global stars to the American league. Among them is Robert Lewandowski, who will begin a new chapter of his career with Chicago Fire. Apple has prepared a range of additional content and features for soccer fans. Everything suggests that the second half of the MLS season will be particularly exciting.
Robert Lewandowski will make his MLS debut, and fans will see blockbuster matchups
Major League Soccer returns to action with all 30 clubs following the World Cup. In the first days after the season resumes, several highly intriguing matches are scheduled. Among them are the Cascadia Cup derby between Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, a clash between Nashville SC and Atlanta United FC, and another El Tráfico featuring LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC. European fans, however, are especially drawn to Robert Lewandowski's debut for Chicago Fire. The Polish striker joined the team during the summer transfer window and on July 16 will face Thomas Müller, his longtime teammate from Bayern Munich, who now represents Vancouver Whitecaps. The match will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago and looks set to be one of the biggest events at the start of the season's second half. Antoine Griezmann has also joined MLS, signing with Orlando City SC after ten seasons at Atlético Madrid. Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn has arrived in the league as well, signing with San Jose Earthquakes. The return of players from the World Cup and the new signings mean the level of competition could be even higher than before the break.
Apple is focusing on delivering a complete fan experience across its entire ecosystem
Apple TV subscribers in more than 100 countries and regions can watch every MLS match without additional interruptions. The offering also includes broadcasts of the Leagues Cup tournament, the MLS All-Star game, the Campeones Cup, and the playoffs culminating in the Audi MLS Cup final. Apple has also prepared extra features across its other services. In the Apple Sports app, fans can follow live scores, statistics, standings, and detailed information for individual matches. Apple Music now features special playlists curated by MLS players and clubs. Apple Maps users will find stadium guides and recommendations for venues connected to the competitions. Additionally, Apple Fitness+ debuted a new episode of the "Time to Walk" series, featuring Thomas Müller talking about his career and the changes related to his move to the United States. Selected matches can also be watched via EA SPORTS FC Mobile through the FCM TV platform. Apple clearly shows that sports broadcasts are becoming an increasingly important part of the company's service ecosystem.
Major League Soccer returns to Apple TV with many high-profile matchups and the involvement of new global soccer stars. The debut of Robert Lewandowski, players returning after the World Cup, and Apple's expanded offerings for fans mean the second half of the season looks especially compelling. All matches can be watched live on Apple TV, and additional content has also been made available on Apple Music, Apple Sports, and Apple Fitness+.
