There is wonderful news for sports fans across the UK! Sky Sports has secured a fantastic new agreement to broadcast exclusive live coverage of Major League Soccer (MLS) from the United States. This exciting four-year deal, which begins this March, brings a much wider range of sporting entertainment to Sky Sports viewers for the very first time.
This new addition perfectly complements the recent announcement of even more live Premier League matches, further strengthening Sky's reputation as the premier home of sport. The coverage will be particularly special for football lovers, as it offers the unique opportunity to follow two Premier League legends in the US. Former England captain Steven Gerrard is set to join LA Galaxy in July, while Frank Lampard will be playing for New York City this summer. Sky Sports will be the only place to watch their adventures across the Atlantic.
This MLS agreement is part of a broader trend of expanding choice. Sky Sports successfully secured 25 new rights agreements in 2014, and this momentum has continued into the new year. Recent successes include deals for international and domestic cricket with the ECB, as well as exclusive live coverage of the Open Championship starting from 2017. Additionally, fans can look forward to even more Premier League football from 2016 onwards.
The league has a rich history of connection with British football, with Sky Ambassadors Thierry Henry and David Beckham both enjoying successful seasons in MLS. Other high-profile players, such as Robbie Keane, who was named the 2014 MLS MVP and Cup Champion, have also made their mark in the US. The Managing Director of Sky Sports expressed delight at bringing this competition to viewers, noting the enormous potential for growth in football across the US and Canada.
With the addition of MLS to the existing mix of football from Holland, Italy, and UEFA European qualifiers, viewers now have an unrivalled range of sport across seven channels. Whether you are a long-time fan of American soccer or simply looking for new sporting stories to follow, there has never been a better time to tune in.
