MLS Expands Sunday Night Soccer Broadcasts to Global Markets

Major League Soccer is taking another major step in its international growth strategy by expanding the reach of its Sunday Night Soccer broadcasts. For the 2025 season, the league is airing marquee Sunday night matches on Apple TV in the U.S. — and now, thanks to new distribution agreements, these games will be available on traditional TV channels in multiple countries around the world.

MLS has struck deals with international broadcasters such as SBS in Australia, Dubai TV in the Middle East, TV3 in Spain, Sportdigital in Germany, and SkyK in South Korea, reports As. The move aims to grow the league's global audience, especially in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

This international push complements MLS’s recent recruitment of global stars including Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, and Marco Reus — signings that have boosted the league’s appeal and media attention.

Sunday Night Soccer has emerged as a flagship product for MLS, designed to wrap up each weekend’s action with a high-profile matchup. With global broadcasts now underway and more deals reportedly on the horizon, the league is poised to make an even bigger impact beyond North America.

More international partnerships are expected later this year as MLS aims to position Sunday Night Soccer as a must-watch event for football fans worldwide.
