MLS
Apple TV
Every MLS match is included with Apple TV in 2026, with no blackouts. The regular season resumed immediately after the World Cup break.
Premier League
Peacock + NBC / USA Network
Peacock carries a large share of the season, but a complete Premier League setup also accounts for matches assigned to NBC and USA Network.
LALIGA
ESPN Select
Every LALIGA match streams in English and Spanish on ESPN Select through the 2028-29 season.
Bundesliga
Fandango (free) + USA Network (TV provider)
Beginning in 2026-27, every English-language match not selected for USA Network streams free on Fandango. At least 30 matches air on USA Network and require access through a participating TV provider. Spanish-language matches stream on Peacock.
Serie A
Paramount+
Paramount+ will stream all 380 Serie A matches in the 2026-27 season, plus Coppa Italia and Supercoppa fixtures.
Fastest way back into club soccer
MLS resumed right after the final
Apple says a record 45 MLS players appeared at the tournament, and every league match is included with Apple TV in 2026. The current catalog price is $12.99/month.
Buy the player, not all of soccer
One domestic league first
The cheapest useful plan starts with the club you care about, not a bundle that tries to cover every country.
Europe is a second decision
Paramount+ matters when your club qualifies for a UEFA competition. Qualification and tournament level can change each season.
Live TV is mostly a Premier League issue
LALIGA, Serie A, MLS, and most Bundesliga matches have a clean streaming path. Premier League coverage is the path most likely to add more linear channels.
Common post-World Cup questions
How do I keep watching a player after the World Cup?
Find the player's club, then follow the U.S. rights for that club's domestic league. Add Paramount+ only when you also want the club's UEFA Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League matches.
Do I need every soccer streaming service?
Usually not. Start with the domestic league of the one or two clubs you care about. Add a second service only when a club's European competition or a second league matters to you.
Is Peacock enough for every Premier League match?
No. Peacock is central to the U.S. setup, but some matches air on NBC or USA Network. Use the Watch Plan calculator for the fuller Premier League combination.
Where do I watch MLS after the World Cup?
Apple TV carries every MLS match in 2026 with no blackouts. The separate MLS Season Pass ended after 2025, so the base Apple TV subscription is the starting point.
How we checked this guide
Last reviewed · Review after transfer windows or U.S. rights changes
- Player-to-club mappings are checked against official league, federation, and rightsholder updates after the 2026 World Cup.
- Domestic-league recommendations use official U.S. rights agreements, not old channel assumptions or unofficial listings.
- Premier League and MLS clubs link into the current Watch Plan calculator; LALIGA, Bundesliga, and Serie A remain direct rights guidance until those leagues are modeled in the calculator.
- UEFA coverage is described separately because qualification and competition level can change from season to season.
