Daily News | MLS announces a limited TV package to go with its big Apple streaming deal
Major League Soccer announced on Tuesday a set of four-year traditional TV deals that will complement its big Apple streaming package.
In the playoffs, Fox’s channels will have eight games each year, with the championship game on big Fox and Fox Deportes. It will be the first time Fox Deportes carries the final, which had aired on Univision channels since 2007. The network will spread 21 Leagues Cup games across its channels, broadcast Univision and cable UniMás and sports channel TUDN. Twelve games will be in the group stage, eight will be in the knockout rounds, and the last will be the final - for which Univision will have exclusive TV rights.
Some games will be available free of charge, some will be available on the main AppleTV+ platform, and all will be in a MLS-specific package “One of the important points of our strategy when we asked all of our clubs to have their [local] rights expire at the end of 2022 was to create a schedule that was better for the fans,” MLS deputy commissioner Gary Stevenson told The Inquirer. “We understood at that moment that it would be a schedule that could be very attractive to a streamer.”
The 2023 season will start on the last weekend of February. The full schedule will be published later this month. Stevenson dropped a hint about what Fox’s set of games could look like when he said “the schedule that Fox was able to put forth fit really well with what we were doing with Apple.”Apple TV becomes the new home of Major League Soccer with a 10-year deal for every game
