MLS Season Pass pros and cons after year one

It’s been more than a year since MLS Season Pass has launched, so it’s perfect timing to identify the pros and cons of the streaming product and the market conditions impacting it. What has improved, what needs to improve, and what issues are impacting the growth of Major League Soccer’s revolutionary streaming product such as CBS Sports Golazo Network and other free services?

During the podcast episode, we also discuss the MLS Season Pass announcers, and what opportunities there are to improve.

We also discuss how many people tuned into the CBS network to watch the historic USL Championship game between Louisville City and Indy Eleven.

Other topics debated include the perception of The Athletic as a mouthpiece for MLS. Plus we share your questions and feedback in the Listener Mailbag segment.
