There was certainly an abundance of soccer news today. If you’re still wrapping your head around everything, especially the MLS announcement, join the club.
Major League Soccer and Apple just teamed up in a decade-long deal that establishes Apple TV as the exclusive platform for MLS matches. The first major sports league in the United States to fully commit to a digital media company, MLS’s partnership with Apple could set a new precedent.
The good: no more blackouts and a single platform for all MLS matches. There will also be a new weekly show highlighting the league and original programming.
