How to Watch Out-of-Market Games with MLS LIVE on ESPN+

MLS Live on ESPN+

• Includes all out-of-market MLS games

Considering that MLS LIVE used to cost $80 per season on its own, at $6.99 a month ($69.99 a year), this is an incredible option for MLS fans.

The service also includes out-of-market NHL games, daily MLB games, as well as UFC, Boxing, and College Sports.

How to Watch Locally Televised MLS Games

Depending on your market, local Major League Soccer (MLS) telecasts will air on a local affiliate, Regional Sports Network (RSN), or an online streaming partner. To watch your RSN online without cable, you will need a subscription to one of the major Live TV Streaming Services.

Most teams will have some of their games nationally televised, with the rest on a local TV partner. Our recommendation for which the best service to watch local telecast depends on the team.

For teams that air their matches on a Bally Sports RSN (Atlanta United FC], Columbus Crew SC, Minnesota United FC, Sporting Kansas City), YES Network (New York City FC), Altitude (Colorado Rapids) or Spectrum SportsNet (LA Galaxy) your only option is DIRECTV STREAM. The good news is that DIRECTV STREAM, now offers a 5-Day Free Trial.

If you want to stream games on MSG (New York Red Bulls), ROOT Sports Northwest (Portland Timbers), your least expensive option is fuboTV ($64.99), which is available with a 7-Day Free Trial.

Teams that are on NBC Sports RSNs like the San Jose Earthquakes and D.C. United are available on fuboTV, DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV.

Some MLS clubs have arrangements to stream on their website instead of RSNs to broadcast games not televised nationally. For the 2022 season, there are a number of teams that will be streaming games on their website, apps, or with a local TV partner.

For instance, Austin FC, Philadelphia Union, FC Cincinnati, Chicago Fire, and Charlotte FC, will be streaming their games on the team’s website, while Real Salt Lake will stream locally on KSLSports.com and [Seattle Sounders] on Amazon Prime Video.
