MLS Season Pass has a great advantage in that it is available in all countries. Or, at least, that’s how Apple advertises it when it says, “MLS Season Pass is now available worldwide on the Apple TV app.”
However, that is not necessarily the case.
Yes, Apple and MLS have teamed up to give millions of people around the world access to the league via streaming. MLS Season Pass is available in over 100 countries, which is still impressive for a service that broadcasts a league.
First, if you want to see which countries the MLS Season Pass is available in, please scroll down to the bottom of the page for the full list.
Major nations are missing out
When the MLS Season Pass was first announced, MLS Commissioner Don Garber mentioned how the league could take advantage of the MLS Season Pass. His example was if you sign a player from a specific country, Garber said, “We have the ability to have a two-way relationship with fans in those markets.” Then MLS could create content to help promote the league in that country.
That’s fine if MLS Season Pass is available in that country. However, if MLS signs a major player from Uruguay, Croatia, Nigeria, Turkey, or China, the MLS Season Pass will not be available in any of those countries. Those are just a small number of the top countries without MLS Season Pass.
Also, when you travel, there is a chance that you may not be able to stream the MLS Season Pass if you are in those countries.

North and South America
Canada and the United States are not a surprise where you can get the MLS season pass. The two countries that have teams in Major League Soccer can broadcast all the games. The same goes for Mexico.
However, please note that Mexico is not streaming the Leagues Cup on Apple TV. That has its own TV rights deal in Mexico, as it involves every team in Liga MX.
