Today Major League Soccer (MLB) and Twitter announced a three-year contract to live stream MLS games and offer on-demand content each week for MLB fans nationwide. Over the season Twitter will live stream for free 24 live matches in 2018. They will be offered in English in the United States on @UnivisionSports.
“MLS constantly strives to connect with fans in new and innovative ways,” said Chris Schlosser, SVP Media, MLS. “Our fans are the youngest and most socially engaged in pro sports, which is why we are excited to partner with Twitter to feature live matches on their platform.”
“We are excited to collaborate with Major League Soccer to bring live soccer matches and video highlights to Twitter,” said Kay Madati, VP and Global Head of Content Partnerships, Twitter. “Passionate MLS fans will now have live match day action alongside real-time commentary from experts and fellow fans all in one place on Twitter.”
