2000s
Notes In August 2006, MLS and ESPN announced an eight-year contract spanning 2007–2014, giving the league its first rights-fee agreement worth $8 million annually.[ 30] This deal gave league a regular primetime slot on Thursdays, televised coverage of the first round of the MLS SuperDraft , and an expanded presence on other ESPN properties such as ESPN360 (now ESPN3 ) and Mobile ESPN. The agreement also placed each season's opening match, All-Star Game , and MLS Cup on ABC.
1990s
Notes On March 15, 1994, Major League Soccer with ESPN and ABC Sports announced the league's first television rights deal without any players, coaches, or teams in place.[ 40] The three-year agreement committed 10 games on ESPN, 25 on ESPN2 , and the MLS Cup on ABC . The deal gave MLS no rights fees but split advertising revenue between the league and networks.
