All good things must come to an end, and whether or not you consider the MLS regular season to be a good thing, it’s still coming to an end. With the conclusion of the 2022 season comes the end of the league’s media contracts, and the beginning of a lucrative 10-year deal with Apple for exclusive broadcasting rights. It’s a huge, $250 million deal for the league (although its translation to the clubs is unclear) that may or may not actually be a financial improvement on the current ones, but unfortunately means the end of local broadcasts.
