Xfinity Customers Can Now Stream MLS Sunday Night Soccer for Free — Here’s How

With Major League Soccer in full swing, Comcast has just raised the stakes for Xfinity customers: you can now watch Sunday Night Soccer on MLS Season Pass at no extra charge.

Every week for the rest of the regular season, Xfinity X1 subscribers and users of the Xfinity Stream app will see Sunday Night Soccer pinned right in their sports lineup. The live broadcast will feature MLS’s marquee matchup each Sunday, complete with English and Spanish commentary, pre‑game analysis and post‑match highlights. That’s live high‑definition streams, on‑air studio segments and all the production value you’ve come to expect from premium MLS coverage for no additional cost.

There’s no need to download a separate app, hunt for promo codes, or bump up your subscription tier. Navigate your guide, or speak into your Xfinity voice remote—“MLS” will whisk you straight to the action. You can find live MLS action across Xfinity X1 and the Xfinity Stream App:

Because the games are integrated directly into Comcast’s ecosystem, you’ll never have to wrestle with multiple logins or lose track of which platform airs the match. It’s all there alongside your NFL, NBA, and MLB games, ready whenever kickoff arrives.

“Since we kicked off our partnership with Apple and MLS earlier this year, we’ve seen a great response from customers. They’re enjoying MLS 360 and tuning in to the integrated match channels consistently week after week,” said Vito Forlenza, Vice President, Sports Entertainment, Comcast.

The bonus coverage kicks off on Sunday, May 18, just in time for MLS’s fan‑favorite Rivalry Week doubleheader. First up, Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF take on Orlando City SC at 7:00 PM ET, in what’s sure to be a barn burner of a matchup‑grabbing affair. Then, the Los Angeles derby lights up the night as LA Galaxy hosts LAFC in a match rooted in decades‑long history. Whether you’re team Beckham’s Galaxy or backing the league’s newest superclub, Xfinity makes it simple for you to not miss these showdowns.

When Apple secured MLS Season Pass rights in 2023, the goal was clear: bring top‑tier soccer to more living rooms. Now, with Comcast offering the weekly flagship game for free, MLS and Sunday Night Soccer are more accessible than ever. New fans can sample the drama without commitment, and veteran followers get a fresh reason to celebrate their favorite teams. Plus, with stars like Lionel Messi, Walker Zimmerman, and others lighting up the pitch, every match has the potential for unforgettable moments.

This season marks the first that Android users can watch live on Apple TV, and in many international markets, the Sunday showcase airs on linear TV. Saturday’s game between Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union will be the second match to stream within the EA Sports FC Mobile game. FC Dallas and Charlotte FC have begun airing games on tape delay on traditional TV, giving viewers more ways to watch the sport they love.

“Adding Sunday Night Soccer for free introduces even more customers to all the excitement of the season and continues our commitment to deliver greater value at no additional cost,” Forlenza said.

Remember, if you want every single MLS Season Pass game, including midweek fixtures and out‑of‑market matchups, the Apple TV app still offers full access for $69 through season’s end (or $59 for existing Apple TV+ subscribers). But for that weekly spotlight fixture on Sunday Night’s is covered by Xfinity. Whether you’re a devoted supporter who never misses a match or a newcomer curious about the world’s fastest‑growing soccer league, this latest perk makes tuning in as easy as flipping on your TV.
