MLS will remain on Fox, loses ESPN

Ever since MLS announced its streaming deal with Apple, there has been speculation around what would happen to its presence on traditional TV. We now the answer.

The league announced on Tuesday that Fox would be the only broadcaster carrying both English and Spanish regular-season and playoff games in the United States. They are scheduled to carry at least 34 regular-season games and eight playoff games including MLS Cup in each of the next four years. They will also carry 16 Leagues Cup matches. The English-language regular-season matches will be split almost evenly between FS1 and Fox, while all the Spanish-language games will be on Fox Deportes.
