MLS teams won’t be playing on the field anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean the league and its players have forgotten their fans.
Many of the 26 teams have been sponsoring eMLS games and Sunday the league will join that effort with a five-episode series matching eMLS players and real-life soccer stars that will air on FS1 and Fox Deportes and benefit COVID-19 relief efforts. The games will be hosted by Fox Sports analysts Stu Holden, Rachel Bonnetta and Rodolfo Landeros with color commentary from Mike LaBelle.
“The eMLS Tournament Special represents the spirit of MLS Unites by entertaining fans and giving back to our communities,” Camilo Durana, MLS vice-president of properties and events, said in a statement.
