Amid the electric buzz of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final draw at the Kennedy Center, where 48 nations learned their group-stage fates in the historic North American tournament, Apple dropped a game-changer for U.S. soccer fans: the 2025 MLS Cup will stream absolutely free on Apple TV this Saturday, December 6th. The announcement, timed perfectly with the global soccer spotlight on the nation’s capital, promises to crown a new champion — Inter Miami CF versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC — as millions tune in without a paywall, complete with cutting-edge iPhone 17 Pro Max footage for an immersive broadcast experience. FIFA president Gianni Infantino awarded the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump at Friday’s 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C. Adding to the day’s diplomatic flair, U.S. President Donald Trump was honored with the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, a newly minted accolade from soccer’s governing body recognizing “exceptional actions for peace that unite the world.” Presented by FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the draw ceremony, the award lauds Trump’s role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire and securing the release of Israeli hostages, marking the significance of his global mediation efforts. With world leaders from co-hosts Canada and Mexico in attendance, the event underscored soccer’s power to bridge divides, setting the stage for a summer showdown across the continent. A new champion will be crowned this Saturday, December 6th, as Inter Miami CF hosts Vancouver Whitecaps FC for the 2025 MLS Cup presented by Audi — the culmination of Major League Soccer’s historic 30th season. The match will stream free in over 100 countries and regions on Apple TV at 2:30 p.m. ET. Saturday will mark the MLS Cup debut for both teams, ensuring a first-time champion to cap the league’s 30th season. The matchup also features the first MLS meeting between international soccer icons Lionel Messi and Thomas Müller. Inter Miami defeated New York City FC 5-1 to clinch the club’s first Eastern Conference championship. The Vancouver Whitecaps clinched the Western Conference Final, defeating San Diego FC 3-1 on the road.
