With a little more than a month and a half left in the 2024 season, Apple today announced that MLS Season Pass is now free for those who already subscribe to Apple TV+.
If you don’t already subscribe to Apple’s premium streaming service, you can get MLS Season Pass for the rest of the season for just $10 — which isn’t a bad deal considering it also includes the playoffs, as well as bonus competition like the Campeones Cup, which pits last year’s MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew against Liga MX winners Club America. (A Columbus win would make it the second team to win multiple Campeones Cups; the Crew beat Tigres UANL last year.)
MLS Season Pass is in its second season on Apple TV (note that it’s a separate subscription from Apple TV+), and it very quickly proved itself as a must-have service for fans of Major League Soccer. Every match is available, with no blackouts — and you can watch up to four matches at once in multiview. There’s also live analysis with its MLS 360 whiparound show, plus additional stats and per-team features. And you can catch up-and-coming players, too, with MLS NEXT Pro and MLS NEXT matches.
Apple also has a new “Catch Up” feature that’s available after kickoff and will catch you up on anything you might have missed before you join in live.
MLS Season Pass is available in the Apple TV app, which is available on pretty much any modern connected device, or in a web browser.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
