MLS Partners with German Digital Media Platform OneFootball for Content Access as US Soccer Gains Momentum

Major League Soccer has partnered with German digital media platform OneFootball to distribute highlights and stats from hundreds of MLS matches to a global audience. MLS will take a stake in OneFootball, joining other investors, including major European soccer clubs. The MLS partnership with OneFootball supports its strategy to expand its growing audience, with the U.S. soccer market surging since Lionel Messi's arrival. The deal is non-exclusive, so MLS content will remain available on other platforms. The partnership complements MLS’s existing Apple TV media deal, which has boosted viewership and subscriptions.
