Major League Soccer and Apple announced a new wide-ranging broadcast agreement Tuesday that will make all of the league’s games available on streaming platform Apple TV beginning next season. The deal makes the soccer league the largest major sports property to put its entire inventory on a streaming service.
The partnership with MLS also marks Apple’s largest foray into sports, as the tech giant seeks to build its streaming platform to compete with the likes of Netflix and Disney. The length of the deal is 10 years. Terms were not announced.
“For the first time in the history of sports, fans will be able to access everything from a major professional sports league in one place,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services, according to the news release.
