The following is a list of current Major League Soccer broadcasters for each individual team.

International video broadcasters

2023–2032

Apple Inc. has exclusive global rights to every MLS match and Leagues Cup match, with on-site commentary in English and Spanish on MLS Season Pass. All match broadcasts are produced by MLS Productions, a partnership of Major League Soccer, IMG and NEP Group. MLS generally assigns announcers regionally, reportedly to retain local familiarity among fans but largely suspected to be to save money on production costs. All commentary was on-site in 2023, allaying concerns about remote broadcasts, and will remain so again in 2024.

In addition, MLS Productions produces whip-around, pre-match and post-match studio shows from NEP Metropolis Studios in Harlem, Manhattan, New York. There is a pre-match show, MLS Countdown, which airs 30 (Eastern) or 15 (Central/Mountain/Pacific) minutes before games, which in most cases will be 7:30 p.m. local time. The national post-match show, MLS Wrap-Up, airs at 12:30 a.m. Eastern time. The whip-around show is called MLS 360 and will cut into matches of significance.

All matches involving CF Montréal, Toronto FC, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC had French-language commentary in 2023. Montréal will continue as the sole French-language broadcast for Apple in 2024.

MLS Productions is expected to produce Portuguese commentary beginning with the 2025 season.
