T-Mobile Subscribers: Apple TV MLS Season Pass

Yes, T-Mobile subscribers on qualifying plans can get Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass at no extra cost, typically as an annual perk that lets you watch every Major League Soccer match live and on demand. You claim the offer through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, then redeem it with your Apple ID to activate the subscription. This article explains exactly who qualifies, how to claim it, and what you get.

Formula

The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for a run or ride. Pace is the time it takes to cover one kilometer, and speed is the distance covered in one hour. The formulas are:

• Pace (min/km) = Finish time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km)
• Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) ÷ (Finish time (minutes) ÷ 60)

Where finish time is measured in minutes, distance in kilometers, pace in minutes per kilometer, and speed in kilometers per hour.

Worked Example

Using the default values: you finish a 10 km run in 50 minutes.

1. Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km
2. Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

So your average pace is 5 minutes per kilometer, and your average speed is 12 km/h.

How the T-Mobile MLS Season Pass Offer Works

T-Mobile has offered MLS Season Pass to its customers since the 2023 season, when the pass first launched. The offer is usually available to postpaid phone customers on most plans, including Magenta, Magenta MAX, Go5G, and older One plans. Prepaid customers, tablet lines, and mobile internet lines generally do not qualify, though T-Mobile has occasionally extended the offer to other customer types. The easiest way to check is to open the T-Mobile Tuesdays app on your phone, look for the MLS Season Pass tile, and see if it says “Claim” or “Get it now.” If you see it, you qualify.

The redemption process is straightforward:

1. Open the T-Mobile Tuesdays app and sign in with your T-Mobile ID.
2. Find the MLS Season Pass offer and tap “Claim.”
3. You’ll get a redemption link or code that opens the Apple TV app.
4. Sign in with your Apple ID (the same one you use for the Apple TV app).
5. Confirm the subscription activation. The pass is tied to that Apple ID, so use the one you want to keep.

Once redeemed, the pass is active for the entire MLS season, which typically runs from late February to December, including playoffs and the MLS Cup final. The pass includes every regular season match, the playoffs, and the final, plus a selection of other content like highlights and analysis shows. You can watch on any device that supports the Apple TV app, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, smart TVs, and streaming sticks.

Who Qualifies and Who Doesn’t

The offer is not available to every T-Mobile customer. Here’s a quick breakdown based on typical T-Mobile policy:

• Qualify: Postpaid voice customers on most current plans (Magenta, Magenta MAX, Go5G, Go5G Plus, One, etc.).
• Do not qualify: Prepaid customers (including T-Mobile Prepaid, Metro by T-Mobile, and Connect), tablet lines, smartwatch lines, mobile internet lines, and business accounts that are not on a qualifying voice plan.
• Check: The T-Mobile Tuesdays app is the only reliable place to see if your specific line qualifies. The offer may also appear on the T-Mobile website under your account perks.

If you have multiple voice lines on your account, each line may be able to claim the offer separately, but the pass is tied to the Apple ID you redeem it with. So if you have two lines, you could claim two passes, but you’d need two different Apple IDs to use them.

How to Claim the Offer Step by Step

If you see the offer in T-Mobile Tuesdays, here’s exactly what to do:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of the T-Mobile Tuesdays app installed on your phone.
2. Log in with your T-Mobile ID and password. If you don’t have one, create it using your phone number.
3. On the home screen, scroll to the “MLS Season Pass” offer. It may be under “Today’s Offers” or “Featured.”
4. Tap “Claim” or “Get it now.” The app will show a confirmation and a redemption code or a button that says “Redeem.”
5. If you get a code, copy it. Then open the Apple TV app on your device.
6. Go to the MLS Season Pass section (usually under “Channels” or “Sports”).
7. Select “Redeem” and enter the code, or if the app offers a direct link, tap it.
8. Sign in with your Apple ID and confirm. The pass should activate immediately.

If you don’t have an Apple ID, you’ll need to create one for free at appleid.apple.com. The pass is digital only; there’s no physical card or code to print.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Sometimes the redemption doesn’t go smoothly. Here are the most common issues and what to do:

• Offer not showing: If you don’t see the MLS Season Pass in T-Mobile Tuesdays, your plan may not qualify, or the offer may have expired. Check the T-Mobile website under “My T-Mobile” → “Perks” to see if it’s listed there.
• Code not working: Make sure you’re entering the code exactly as shown, including dashes. Codes are case-sensitive. Also, check that you haven’t already redeemed it on another Apple ID.
• “This code has already been used”: This means the code was redeemed on a different Apple ID. Contact T-Mobile customer support if you think it’s a mistake, but they may not be able to reverse it.
• Pass not showing in Apple TV app: After redemption, the pass may take a few minutes to appear. Force-quit the Apple TV app and reopen it. Also, make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID you used to redeem.
• You see a charge on your Apple ID: If you accidentally subscribed to MLS Season Pass directly (not via the T-Mobile offer), you’ll be charged. Cancel it in your Apple ID settings to avoid future charges, but note that the cancellation may end the pass immediately.

MLS Season Pass vs. Other Ways to Watch Soccer

MLS Season Pass is a standalone subscription that covers only Major League Soccer. It does not include other leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, or Champions League. For those, you’d need a different service, such as Peacock (Premier League), ESPN+ (various leagues), or Paramount+ (UEFA competitions). The pass also does not include MLS Next Pro or MLS NEXT matches unless specifically noted. If you’re a fan of a specific team, the pass covers every game for that team, including away matches, which is a big advantage over regional sports networks that only show local games.

Compared to a traditional cable sports package, MLS Season Pass is cheaper and more comprehensive for MLS content. It also includes Spanish-language broadcasts for every match, which is a plus for Spanish-speaking fans. The pass works on up to three devices simultaneously, so you can share it with family members, though they’ll need to be signed in with the same Apple ID on their devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MLS Season Pass free for all T-Mobile customers?
No, it’s only free for qualifying postpaid voice customers. Prepaid, tablet, and mobile internet lines do not qualify. The T-Mobile Tuesdays app will tell you if you’re eligible.

Can I claim the offer if I have a T-Mobile prepaid plan?
Generally, no. Prepaid plans, including T-Mobile Prepaid, Metro by T-Mobile, and Connect, are not eligible for the MLS Season Pass offer. You’d need to switch to a postpaid plan to get it.

How long does the MLS Season Pass last after I redeem it?
The pass is valid for the entire current MLS season, including playoffs and the final. It typically runs from late February to December. After the season ends, the pass expires, and you’d need to renew or claim a new offer if available.

What if I already have MLS Season Pass through Apple?
If you already subscribed directly, you can still claim the T-Mobile offer, but you’ll need to cancel your existing subscription first to avoid double billing. The T-Mobile offer will then cover the rest of the season.

Can I share my MLS Season Pass with family?
Yes, you can watch on up to three devices at the same time. However, all devices must be signed in with the same Apple ID that redeemed the pass. Family Sharing does not share the pass automatically.

What if I don’t have an Apple TV device?
You don’t need an Apple TV hardware device. The Apple TV app is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, many smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.), Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and game consoles. You can also watch online at tv.apple.com.
