Apple does not recognize my student subscription when trying to access apple tv+, I have a student membership with apple music

I want to be able to watch MLS games using my student subscription for apple music but it is not being recognized when i go into the app, it still tries to make me buy a subscription for apple tv+, however I think I can use appletv+ just not the MLS section. I am a current student and I just verified my eligibility again today and saw the offer for free appletv+ if you're a current student membership for apple music

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

There is no “using my student subscription” for MLS matches, as MLS is a separate subscription (same for non-students). There is no special offer in that case for MLS, but anyone can still choose to subscribe to MLS. It doesn’t depend on Apple TV+. Discounts and offers for MLS when also being an Apple TV+ subscriber do not apply, as these students do not subscribe to that specifically.

If you can't subscribe to MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app - Apple Support


If that doesn’t show MLS subscribe options for Apple Music Student subscribers at all, then please contact the Apple Support staff for assistance.


… although I went through the student confirmation offer my Apple account subscriptions only shows student music pricing - my account shows nothing for TV.

The free Apple TV+ add-on would not show as a subscription on your account, as intended for these Apple Music Student subscribers. Just access the Apple TV+ catalog shows to watch those.

Apple Music Student subscriptions may include Apple TV+ services in countries and country-like regions where both are available. Nowhere does it say that MLS is included — that is a separate subscription, unrelated to Apple Music Student.

Did I miss something? Because I believe @mobomba said while they want MLS, thinks they can’t get it with the offer.


i believe they’re stuck with seeing the Apple TV with music offer - still can’t get it to work.


i understand and can relate because although I went through the student confirmation offer my Apple account subscriptions only shows student music pricing - my account shows nothing for TV.


i did just have a recent previous appletv+ subscription expire, but don’t know why Apple tv isn’t kicking in yet, even after trying to access it through my music as per instructions
