Cannot access MLS Season Pass subscription on MacBook Pro (with updated Big Sur 11.7.3)

Although I am successfully subscribed to the new MLS Season Pass for AppleTV in '23 and can access it from my iPhone13, MLS Season Pass does not appear in my AppleTV app on my MacBook despite updating to the latest iOS (Big Sur 11.7.3). What's wrong?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

Try looking for an MLS promotional tile in the Watch Now tab of the TV app on Mac.

Try looking for the circular Channel icon for MLS in the Watch Now tab of the TV app (scroll down).

Try looking for an MLS promotional tile in the Search tab of the TV app. Else type ‘MLS’ in the Search field.


Else try a cold restart (not sleep-wake, but really off for a while).

If the issue persists, then contact the Apple Support staff for further assistance.

Thanks for your perspective with an old MacBook like mine! While still having absolutely no luck accessing MLS Season Pass with AppleTV app on my Macbook, I did go the route that you did via the browser version of AppleTV. Voilà! There it is!


But what's funny is that in the browser version of AppleTV, there's a link in the upper left that prompts the user to go to the AppleTV app. While successfully in MLS Season Pass on the browser, when I click on that prompt it takes me to the app... where the MLS pass disappears.


Definitely a glitch in the AppleTV app.


Thanks again! (and Go Rapids! ;) )

Yes. After seeing other responses and researching further, this is not only about having the latest version of OS version. I have the latest OS version that Apple makes available for my 2014 MacBook Pro to run. It’s becoming quite clear that the AppleTV app fails to run on OS’s of older MacBooks… which is beyond lame since BOTH products are Apple products. Fail. But will give it time for Apple to bridge. Just not holding breath.
