TV Report: MLS and NFL to air joint lineup

• by Paul Kennedy  @pkedit, Aug 25, 2016

On Sept. 18, Fox Sports will air two live MLS matches --  Sporting Kansas City-LA Galaxy (2 p.m. ET) and Toronto FC-New York Red Bulls (5 p.m. ET) -- adjacent to regional NFL broadcasts as part of a joint MLS-NFL lineup, marking the first time in MLS history that a network partner has televised games from the two leagues on the same network at the same time.

The first match will air on Fox affiliates in the home markets of Sporting KC and the Galaxy as well as select additional cities around the country. Those areas without the Fox television broadcast of the MLS match will receive a regional NFL broadcast at that time. 

The same will apply for the TFC-Red Bulls game. It will air on Fox's New York affiliate and additional markets while other markets will receive a late afternoon regional NFL broadcast.

Fans in those markets airing NFL games on Fox will be able to watch the two MLS games on Fox Sports Go.
