TSN is Canada’s English-Language Broadcaster of MLS

After a thrilling season culminating with their record-breaking 2016 MLS CUP, which eclipsed unprecendeted playoff audiences to become the country’s most-watched MLS game ever, TSN today announced a new, multi-year media rights extension with Major League Soccer that sees the network become Canada’s exclusive English-language broadcaster of MLS.

Beginning with the 2017 season, Canada’s Sports Leader now delivers exclusive coverage of every game featuring Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, a slate of Montreal Impact matchups, marquee games featuring U.S.-based teams, along with exclusive coverage of the MLS All-Star game, MLS Decision Day, the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, and MLS Cup.

MLS ON TSN will announce its comprehensive broadcast schedule for the 2017 season in the coming weeks.

“Coming off the record-setting season the League had in Canada, we are excited to announce our renewed partnership with TSN and Bell Media,” says Gary Stevenson, President and Managing Director, MLS Business Ventures. “This agreement is a clear indication that our media partners – along with the League and our Canadian clubs – are investing in the growth of the sport of soccer in Canada. Bell has been a longstanding partner of the League and our partnership with TSN has already achieved so much toward our collective goals for growth, and we are excited for what’s next.”

“The MLS brand in Canada is stronger than ever, after an outstanding MLS ON TSNseason that saw Canadian clubs making sensational playoff runs and smashing audience records along the way,” says Stewart Johnston, President of TSN. “By expanding our package of games, Canadian fans can expect MLS ON TSN to continue to elevate the League and its players. We are proud to continue to be MLS’s official Canadian broadcaster for years to come.”
