Looks like $5/month. Much like NBCSN Live Gold.

I was wondering why they weren't pushing renewals of MLS Live.
I cut the cable cord 15 years ago. $20/month for sling + $5/month for ESPN+. Sucks.
My guess is that ESPN+ will archive everything the same way WatchESPN archives everything. MLS Live allowed us some (condensed?) matches from 2016, as well as those from the 2017 season, which was nice. The condensed matches were amazing and I hope they keep those, but something tells me ESPN won't put in the manpower to do it. At least ESPN+ will be ~20 bucks cheaper than Live and have loads more content sprinkled in.I have 2 concerns about the ESPN+ product as compared to MLS live. First, will the new product allow us to watch games after they are over, and if so for how long. MLS Live let you watch any game any time till the season ended, and even after. Second, will they still create the 20 minute condensed games? I love those.
Cable companies are shook. The only thing keeping them alive after this is there stupid ass internet+cable packages.
This is basically what happens when you cut the cord. I am paying almost as much now for internet as I was paying for cable plus internet pre-cut. I'm not on such a long contract now though. It's messed up.the conspiracy theorist in me thinks they just going massively increase their internet prices

My buddy who works at BAM (former season ticket holder) says they will do condensed games, but doesn’t know if that will be from the start. It’s a tricky transition apparently.ESPN Plus is supposed to launch Thursday with a transition period in which everyone can watch MLS games for free like we are doing now.
When MLS announced this, I didn't understand that ESPN Plus would be a standalone service -- I assumed I would have to be an ESPN subscriber to pay $5/month for ESPN Plus.
If they have condensed games on ESPN Plus I wont wait for the free transition to end before signing up.

It looks like MLS Live is going to go dark 4/24. MLS has had a few clickthrough condensed matches on the regular website this season but not many. I am curious what kind of setup they will have.
Yeah, and in response to a query Castillo said the condensed were usually 8-12 minutes.This is interesting. My neighbor who works at BAM told me they understood the popularity of the condensed matches and would keep them. He didn't say where (and probably didn't know).
The issue is that the condensed matches I've seen on the MLS site have been around 8 minutes, and not the 20 minute matches from seasons past. This is a big difference.
