MLS Season Pass to Stream Final Stages of 2024 US Open Cup Tournament for Free
The new deal will see MLS Season Pass offer several US Open Cup games free, including the tournament’s final on Sept. 25.
MLS Season Pass has found the back of the net once again. The soccer streaming service established by Apple to carry every Major League Soccer game of the season has announced a new deal to carry select games from the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the United States. Multiple key games from the tournament will stream on MLS Season Pass starting this season, and the best news is they’ll be available to watch for free.
Key Details:
- MLS Season Pass will offer the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, semifinals, and final at no cost.
- Broadcasts begin with the quarterfinals on July 9 and 10.
- Eight MLS clubs have participated in this year’s U.S. Open Cup, though Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami is not one of them.
The U.S. Open Cup just finished its Round of 16, followed by the quarterfinal draw. When the quarterfinals of the tournament begin on July 9 and 10, fans will be able to watch the proceedings at no cost on MLS Season Pass. The streamer will also carry coverage of the Open Cup semifinals (Aug. 27-28) and finals (Sept. 25) without the need to subscribe.
This season, eight MLS teams and 11 MLS Next Pro squads have competed in the U.S. Open Cup. Teams playing in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, such as Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami CF will not be involved in the U.S. Open Cup in 2024. The winner of this year’s cup will automatically qualify for next year’s CONCACAF Champions Cup.
