The following is a list of current Major League Soccer broadcasters for each individual team.
Apple Inc. has exclusive global rights to every MLS match and Leagues Cup match, with on-site commentary in English and Spanish on MLS Season Pass. All match broadcasts are produced by MLS Productions, a partnership of Major League Soccer, IMG and NEP Group.[1] [2] [3] [4] MLS generally assigns announcers regionally, reportedly to retain local familiarity among fans but largely suspected to be to save money on production costs.[5] All commentary was on-site in 2023, allaying concerns about remote broadcasts,[6] and will remain so again in 2024.[7]
In addition, MLS Productions produces whip-around, pre-match and post-match studio shows from NEP Metropolis Studios in Harlem, Manhattan, New York. There is a pre-match show, MLS Countdown, which airs 30 (Eastern) or 15 (Central/Mountain/Pacific) minutes before games, which in most cases will be 7:30 p.m. local time. The national post-match show, MLS Wrap-Up, airs at 12:30 a.m. Eastern time. The whip-around show is called MLS 360 and will cut into matches of significance.[8]
All matches involving CF Montréal, Toronto FC, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC had French-language commentary in 2023. Montréal will continue as the sole French-language broadcast for Apple in 2024.[7]
MLS Productions is expected to produce Portuguese commentary beginning with the 2025 season.
