Major League Soccer has seen domestic views soar this season, recording their best figures since 2007.
During the 2022 regular season, an average of 343,000 people have tuned in across both ABC and ESPN networks, a 16 percent rise from the 295,000 recorded last year. Disney confirmed it was the most viewed on its networks for 15 years, coming close to 2007’s record average of 357,000 viewers.
The popularity of the MLS is increasing every year, and with the play-offs set to start on Saturday, it's likely that viewers will soar yet again. Apple have already secured a deal to take on the broadcasting rights for the league, and it's come at a great time for the company.
