MLS, Apple reveal show program titles, broadcast pairings for Season Pass
The whip-around, pregame and post-game shows on MLS Season Pass now have names and fans can determine which broadcasters will be paired together in 2023.
Major League Soccer and Apple announced Wednesday its five-hour, whip-around show will be called "MLS 360." Pregame and post-game shows have been dubbed "MLS Countdown" and "MLS Wrap-Up." The latter two programs offer English and Spanish broadcast crews. All studio and game coverage will be produced by NEP Group and IMG.
The MLS regular season starts on Feb. 25.
Liam McHugh and Kaylyn Kyle will share MLS 360 host duties, paired with analysts and former New York Red Bulls talismans Sacha Kljestan and Bradley Wright-Phillips. Former match referee Christina Unkel will join the program.
In English, Jillian Sakovits and Andrew Wiebe will divide MLS Countdown and MLS Wrap-Up host duties, combining with Nigel Reo-Coker, Calen Carr, Shep Messing and Matt Doyle. In Spanish, Tony Cherchi and Stefano Fusaro are hosts and match broadcasters. Diego Valeri, Melissa Ortiz, and Chelsea Cabarcas are the three analysts.
