All 30 MLS Clubs to Wear a Unique Apple TV Jersey Patch in 2025 Season

[MacRumors]

Major League Soccer returns for its 30th season this coming weekend, with all 30 clubs set to take the field on Saturday and Sunday.

To celebrate the league's 30th season, Apple today announced that the left sleeve of every MLS club's jersey will feature a bespoke Apple TV patch throughout the season. There are 30 custom Apple TV jersey patches in total, with each inspired by the given club's "distinctive crest, color palette, and visual identity," according to Apple.

Here is what the new Apple TV jersey patch looks like for Inter Miami CF:

TechRadar's Jacob Krol today shared more details about the jersey patches. He also spoke with Apple's global head of sports marketing, Emeka Ofodile.

MLS jerseys already had an Apple TV patch for the past few seasons, but the logo previously had a generic design in white or black.

2025 marks the third year of a 10-year Apple-MLS partnership. In the Apple TV app, you can subscribe to MLS Season Pass to watch all regular season and playoff matches. In the U.S., MLS Season Pass is priced at $14.99 per month, or $99 for the full season. Apple TV+ subscribers can subscribe for $12.99 per month, or $79 per season.

New this season, Apple TV+ subscribers can watch a featured MLS match every Sunday evening, even if they do not subscribe to MLS Season Pass. The inaugural Sunday Night Soccer matchup will see the league's newest franchise, San Diego FC, make its debut against the reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy, on Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.

In related news, the Apple TV app launched on Android smartphones last week, complete with access to MLS Season Pass.

This immediately made me think of John Oliver
😂

T Mobile has season pass for free.

I wish they'd made the Sounders one not so awful. Oh well.

San Diego and Huston nailed it.

Apple spent a ton of money on something no one will see. Should have issued a special dividend to the shareholders. It's our money being wasted here.

Silly. I hate seeing more corporate logos/advertising on pro sports jerseys/uniforms. Not everything needs to be advertised.

OMG Apple, just give us a new iPhone Mini ... or are you actually incapable of doing anything technical any more?

Agree 💯%.

It's tacky, tawdry, and cheap.

Agreed!

They are welcome to print "Apple TV" on the back of mine

This should be free or much less expensive for those of us who actually personally pay (not those who get it free from their cell provider) for our Apple TV+ subscription.

not a fan of soccer but this looks cool to me. Sure "nobody will see this" "it's a waste of money" but companies that support/advertise usually want to have a visual to show for it. at least this is doing so with a unique look for the team that doesn't just feel like another simple logo slapped on the jersey.

Fully agree. Look what has been done to one of the most iconic jerseys in all of sports...

No one does mini smart phones anymore.

Not enough mini folks to justify the costs.

Soccer fans are committed bunch. I don’t watch soccer but I know few who are crazy.

 

[JustAKidFromSolon]

It's Inter Miami CF, and not Miami FC btw.

 

[Aeronauts]

Flip phones seem to have replaced mini phones. Apple need to get on board.

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

Maybe take your hobby more seriously.

It is 😁

 

[anthogag]

New patches, new TV+ perks. Make MLS free for TV+ subscribers. Why should I pay extra to my TV+ subscription when star-studded Inter Miami can be booted out of the playoffs in the first round by the worst team 😂

Charlottes really should have been Sir Minty's face.

I don't think anyone is arguing this looks better than not having corporate logos at all. However, I think if the added logos are a forgone conclusion, this is actually a really cool way to do it. It blends with the team themes/aesthetics instead of just tacking on the same thing across the whole league. It gives the vibe that the brand is partnering with individual teams and (slightly) caring about the fans instead of just trying to make sponsorship bucks with minimal effort. I say smart move, Apple!

It's not coming back so quit pining for it and move on. The sales numbers weren't there to justify the cost of making them so Apple cut the dead flesh from the lineup.

As tacky as this is, I don't mind the look of my club's (Minnesota United FC), but come on, missed opportunity to include one of the focal points of the logo in the loon
