Disclosed are a method by which a terminal receives an MBMS service and an apparatus for supporting the same. The method comprises the steps of: determining a coverage enhancement (CE) level of the terminal in a frequency at which an MBMS service of interest is provided; receiving a CE level of the MBMS service supported by a network; determining whether the MBMS service can be received by comparing the CE level of the terminal with the CE level of the MBMS service; and reporting, to the network, the CE level of the terminal or the number of iterations, which is indicated by the CE level of the terminal, required for the terminal when it is determined that the MBMS service cannot be received.
