Major League Soccer has partnered with Facebook to create robust recaps of all matches during the 2020 season for Facebook Watch.
In addition, MLS will host a weekly Watch Party on Facebook, enabling fans around the world to connect while viewing game recaps and videos together in real-time, and create official Facebook Groups for select teams across the league.
Chris Schlosser, MLS Senior Vice President, Media said: “Facebook’s innovative Watch Party experience is the perfect place for Major League Soccer fans around the world to exchange views and share their passion for our clubs and players.”
Rob Shaw, Facebook Director of League and Media Sports Partnerships said: “This content will bring people together to celebrate wins, commiserate over losses and share the top plays with their friends, making it a fantastic fit for Facebook Watch.”
Fans will be able to stay up to date with the latest highlights by following the MLS Facebook Page at facebook.com/MLS. Between league, team and player accounts on the platform, the MLS Facebook community exceeds more than 30 million people. The agreement will also bring archival clips, featuring top moments in MLS history, and player-centric highlights to Facebook Watch.
Fans will be able to access MLS content on Facebook via Facebook Watch on mobile apps across Apple and Android, on desktop, laptop and on a variety of TV apps.
