U.S. Soccer has announced an agreement with Apple TV to broadcast the final three rounds of the 2024 U.S. Open Cup on MLS Season Pass.
The seven games will be available free to any user with an Apple ID.
MLS Season Pass will broadcast the quarterfinals (July 9-10), semifinals (August 27-28), and the final (September 25), with the last-eight pairings determined on Wednesday night after the conclusion of the round of 16.
The deal is only through the remainder of the 2024 tournament, with broadcast details — and indeed, the fate of the Open Cup itself — unknown beyond this season.
After initially trying to pull all of its clubs out of the Open Cup, MLS eventually agreed to field eight of its 26 American teams in this year’s competition.
That agreement is only good through the 2024 edition, with further discussions yet to take place on the format moving forward.
Of those eight teams in the Open Cup this year, five have reached the quarterfinal stage. The other three remaining clubs are from the second-tier USL Championship.
Below are the quarterfinal pairings, with the final schedule and venues for all matches still to be confirmed. The home side is listed first in each pairing.
2024 U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals
- Sporting Kansas City (MLS) vs. FC Dallas (MLS)
- Atlanta United (MLS) vs. Indy Eleven (USL-C)
- Sacramento Republic (USL-C) vs. Seattle Sounders FC (MLS)
- Los Angeles FC (MLS) vs. New Mexico United (USL-C)
