In reply to: Apple TV+ to show every MLS game, no blackouts posted by plaid_pants

want anything longer than a four-year deal. I wonder why MLS wanted a 10-year deal with Apple, unless they have an opt-out in case the value of the rights grows significantly.

It appears local broadcasts will be eliminated with this deal. Games only on Wednesdays and Sundays, which I found odd.
