A change is reportedly coming to MLS broadcasts.
According to Bloomberg, MLS is set to shut down the MLS Live streaming service as the league shifts towards ESPN+. The move will see MLS join a new streaming service set to be launched within the next few months.
The report says fans will be able to watch roughly 250 out-of-market games a year while home matches will not be available in-market. The switch will not impact the league’s nationally-televised schedule.
According to the report, matches will be broadcast in the league’s website until ESPN+ launches this year.
What happens if you live in Canada? Like everyone else here, I thoroughly enjoyed MLS Live in 2016 with the 2017 experience being very less than inspiring. Will there be a Canadian equivalent?
I was finally going to subscribe this year and now they’re joining forces with the worst sports media outlet on Earth…
Last year they changed the app and I had a ton of problems with it. I spent a month trying to get the support folks to get me set up right. Finally they just refunded my money and said they couldn’t help me. I had enjoyed the 2016 version. But now that ESPN is involved I doubt I will be subscribing.
Good luck
MLS Live was so much better than trying to watch the nationally televised games on ESPN’s streaming. They better step up their game when they release ESPN+!!!
Meh … So long as I can catch the Atlanta United games, I’m good. I got to watch over 30 games from Houston Texas last year. I hope to have more of the same (and one of those will be in person on March 3)
