Houston Dynamo vs Sporting KC live stream: Can you watch for free?

In a rematch of last year’s Western Conference semifinal matchup, the Houston Dynamo take on Sporting KC at Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday night.

The match kicks off very soon, at 8:30 p.m. ET, and the only way to watch in the United States or Canada is via MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Here’s everything you need to know.

As previously mentioned, this match is exclusively on MLS Season Pass, which, like last season, will be home to every MLS game this year with no local blackouts.

With the previous T-Mobile deal no longer available, the only way to get Season Pass for free this year is if you’re a season-ticket holder for an MLS team. Still, though, at just $15 per month ($13 if you’re an Apple TV+ subscriber) or $99 for the season ($79 if you’re an Apple TV+ subscriber), it’s well worth it. You’ll get all 493 MLS games (and about 470 of those won’t be available anywhere else) all available in English or Spanish (and French for the Canadian teams), plus Leagues Cup matches, MLS Next and MLS Next Pro, pre- and post-game shows, highlights and other content. If you enjoy MLS even a little bit, this is a must-have.
