This Saturday, the 2016 MLS Cup between the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC will be broadcast live in virtual reality. FOX Sports and LiveLike are partnering once again to deliver the experience on both iOS and Android and through a fully immersive viewing on Samsung Gear VR and cardboard.
According to LiveLike Chief Business Officer, Miheer Walavalkar, soccer has been the company’s “most-well tested sport” in virtual reality, having experimented around games overseas, which have included Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and others.
“FOX has seen all of those, and virtual reality works very seamlessly when it comes to soccer.
