MLS on Sky

[225]

I don't have Sky, but it might just mean there'd be decent coverage of the MLS. I'd be interested to follow it.

Sky Sports has won the rights to broadcast exclusively live Major League Soccer (MLS) from the US for the first time.

The agreement follows the announcement of the new deal to show even more live Premier League matches and further strengthens Sky’s position as the home of sport.

The four-year MLS deal begins in March, bringing an even wider range of coverage to Sky Sports viewers. With former England captain Steven Gerrard announcing he will sign for LA Galaxy in July, and Frank Lampard set to join New York City this summer, Sky Sports will be the only place to follow the fortunes of two Premier League legends in the US.

Who gives a shit

No offence but nobody is going to start watching it because steven gerrard has gone there

Moving from Bt Sport to Sky isn't going to get people signing up to sky or make up the loss of CL on sky

Also my attitude would be the same towards, Ligue 1, Portuguese liga and etc.

Most games are on in the middle of the night aren't they?

MLS is like mid league 1 to mid championship standard at best. Give me more televised championship games on Sky so i can stream them. Thanks.

Heard about it yesterday from the guy who broke the Yedlin stuff. But them making it official now and announcing it now is just another PR fuck up in a long line of them from MLS. "Hey guys, lets announce a global media rights deal in the middle of a nasty CBA fight with our players!" - MLS....fucking idiots.


Oh and i dont really watch or care about MLS. Maybe ill watch some this year, but just not a fan of the league. Boring football, poor quality, rarely any soccer specific stadiums, game played on turf, terrible schedule timing, no fifa calander.

NYC fans hate him. Has always been injured since coming over and there was bad blood to begin due to him staying at Manchester last season. Just eating up salary and a dp slot which could be used to improve the team.

Also revealed to be one of the best paid player in the MLS, and so far has only 11 appearances LOL

Hadn't seen this thread before, I used to enjoy watching it on BT sport but I guess they lost it to sky and had to live with sky's cast off's like the Champions League.
Love the way Sky spun it as a real coup though.

They even do the jumping up and down bit. Needs more stone island though. Yanks have no fashion pfff.

Looked more like he was initiating a dance off.

Losing everything else so why not. On the plus side the writers at Soccer AM will be over the moon.
