100 Winners Get Apple TV Subscriptions in the 2026 MLS Is Back Sweepstakes

What Each of the 100 MLS Winners Receives

Each selected winner receives an Apple TV subscription for the remainder of the 2026 MLS season. The approximate retail value is $49.50 per winner.

The prize is a subscription rather than a television, Apple device, cash award, or general-purpose Apple credit. Readers should enter because they want access to the MLS season coverage included with the subscription, not because they expect a piece of hardware or a cash alternative.

With 100 prizes available, this sweepstakes has more potential winners than a single-grand-prize drawing. All 100 winners receive the same listed subscription prize; there are no separate prize levels described in the verified promotion details.

The subscription lasts only for the remainder of the 2026 MLS season. It is not described as a full year of Apple TV service, so its duration depends on the portion of the season remaining when the prize is delivered.

How to Enter Through MLS Match Reminders

Entry is connected to signing up for MLS “Remind Me” match reminders through eCal on the MLS how-to-watch page. Follow the prompts provided there, supply the requested information, and complete the sweepstakes entry during the promotion period.

Read each checkbox before submitting. The page may display consent choices involving match reminders, sweepstakes terms, privacy terms, or additional MLS communications. Do not rush through them: confirm that you have completed the option tied to the sweepstakes and understand any separate communication preference presented on the page.

Use accurate contact details, especially your email address. MLS will need a valid way to reach you if your entry is selected, and the winner-response window is unusually short.

After submitting, keep any confirmation that appears or arrives by email. A confirmation is useful for your own records, but it does not change the one-entry restriction or guarantee that you will win.

Why Entering Once Is the Right Strategy

The limit is one entry per person, family, email address, and household. That wording is broader than a simple one-entry-per-email rule. Members of the same household should coordinate before anyone enters because using a different name or email address does not create another permitted household entry.

There is no daily-entry advantage, and returning to submit the form repeatedly could put an otherwise valid entry at risk. The best strategy is to choose one eligible adult in the household, enter once with complete information, and then stop.

Use an email inbox that the entrant checks regularly and can access throughout September. Avoid a temporary address, an inbox that is nearly full, or an account with aggressive filters that might hide a legitimate notification.

It is also smart to add a simple calendar note for early to mid-September. Winner selection is expected in a random drawing around September 11, 2026, so that is the period when closer inbox monitoring matters most.

Who Can Enter the MLS Sweepstakes

The sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Entrants must be at least 18 years old and must also have reached the age of majority where they live.

The age-of-majority condition matters because it is not identical everywhere. A person who is 18 but has not yet reached the applicable age of majority in their jurisdiction would not meet both listed age requirements.

Residents outside the 50 states and Washington, D.C., are not included in the verified eligibility description. Other exclusions or restrictions may appear in the official terms, so entrants should review those terms before submitting.

The entry should be made in the eligible entrant’s own name with truthful information. Because the restriction covers the person, family, email address, and household, changing one detail does not provide a valid route to an extra entry.

The August 28 Deadline and Timing Details

The promotion begins August 10, 2026, and ends August 28, 2026. Your entry needs to be completed during that window. Do not rely on seeing the promotional page after the closing date as proof that entries are still being accepted.

Entering early is especially sensible here. The eCal reminder process adds a step beyond typing basic contact information, and waiting until the final evening leaves less time to resolve a loading problem, missing confirmation, or misunderstood checkbox.

Before leaving the page, check that the submission actually went through. If the form identifies an incomplete required field, correct it before the deadline rather than assuming a partially completed form counts.

The verified deadline is August 28, but the precise closing time should be checked in the official terms on the entry page. Time zones can determine whether a late-night submission qualifies, so treat August 27 as a safer personal target.

Winner Email Safety and the Two-Day Response Rule

Potential winners are expected to be selected at random around September 11, 2026. The most important follow-up requirement is the response deadline: a potential winner must reply to the notification email within two days.

That short window makes inbox monitoring part of the entry strategy. Check the email account used on the form at least once a day around the expected drawing period. Review spam, junk, promotions, and filtered folders as well as the main inbox.

Before responding, verify that the message relates to the 2026 MLS Is Back Sweepstakes and compare its instructions with the official terms. A legitimate prize notification should not require payment to release the subscription. Do not send money, gift card numbers, passwords, or account verification codes to someone claiming those are needed to claim the prize.

A potential winner may be asked to confirm eligibility or complete claim documents. Respond through the stated official process, provide only the information reasonably required for verification, and retain copies of the correspondence.

If a message arrives, act promptly rather than setting it aside for the weekend. Missing the two-day response period may mean losing the prize and allowing another potential winner to be chosen.

Final Entry Check Before You Submit

Make sure the entrant is an eligible U.S. or Washington, D.C., resident who meets both age conditions. Confirm that no one else in the family or household has already entered, then use an email address that will be monitored after the deadline.

Complete the MLS “Remind Me” eCal process and the connected sweepstakes steps between August 10 and August 28. Read the consent choices, submit once, and watch for confirmation before closing the page.

After that, no repeat entry is needed. Keep checking the chosen inbox around September 11 and be prepared to answer a legitimate winner notification within two days. For this promotion, one accurate entry and fast follow-up are more useful than repeated visits.
