TORONTO and MONTREAL – TSN has inked a new, multi-year media rights extension with Major League Soccer to become Canada’s exclusive English-language broadcaster of MLS.
Beginning with the 2017 season, TSN will air exclusive coverage of every game featuring Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, a slate of Montreal Impact matchups, plus the MLS All-Star Game, MLS Decision Day, the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, and MLS Cup.
MLS on TSN will announce its broadcast schedule for the 2017 season in the coming weeks, and live streaming and on-demand viewing will continue to be available to TSN subscribers through the TSN Go app and on TSN.ca. TSN has been the official Canadian broadcaster of MLS since 2011.
Quebecor’s TVA Sports signed a five-year agreement as the exclusive French-language broadcaster of the Montreal Impact games. The deal includes MLS All-Star Game, the playoffs and the MLS Cup final.
The official broadcaster of the Impact since its debut in the MLS in 2012, TVA Sports will also continue to offer a weekly show on the Impact and professional soccer.
