Mls Tv
- Thread starter Kjbert
- Start date
The national broadcasted games will probably be shown live if you have a cable subscription. I think the plan is to show the other "local" games on ESPN3 with a log-in like MLS LIVE, at least thats what they say they will do.

In 2015, as part of the new TV broadcast partnerships, all MLS matches will be available nationally through various digital platforms (and subject to local blackout restrictions, where required).
Here are some more info:
National Broadcasts
As stated in the official announcement, the "out-of-market package, currently serviced through the MLS Live and MLS Direct Kick packages, will be available to a wider audience via ESPN3, ESPN’s live multiscreen sports network currently in more than 92 million homes, and WatchESPN, available to fans who receive their video or Internet subscription from an affiliated provider."
In 2015, the out-of-market package may include the extension of the MLS LIVE subscription package. Then, from 2016 through 2022, the out-of-market package will reside exclusively on ESPN3.

Just thinking about how I will watch away games: if YES Network is televising locally, that likely means a local blackout even if ESPN3 is picking it up nationally. I don't really watch baseball but it seems like MLS is in a similar position as MLB when it comes to watching local games on anything but television (Live local streaming down to one team in MLB).
