Become a Soccer Hub With MLS Season Pass Package
MLS has been growing in popularity in recent years. According to an article about MLS fan engagement, 11.5 million fans watched regular season matches in 2024, a 5% increase from 2023 and a 14% increase from 2022. This increase in U.S. viewership provides a great opportunity for sports bars and restaurants to capitalize on the sport’s growing fan base.
MLS SEASON PASS provides businesses with an all-access pass for local and out-of-market coverage. Give your customers a front row seat to all the action, from regular season games to the playoffs to Leagues Cup matches. And as the only national provider of MLS SEASON PASS for commercial businesses, DIRECTV can help you kick the competition to the curb.
