Major League Soccer will go head-to-head with the NFL on FOX this fall. MLS and Fox Sports announced that two soccer games will air live adjacent to regional NFL broadcasts as part of a joint lineup on Sunday, Sept. 18. It marks the first time in Major League Soccer’s 21-year history that a network partner has televised games from MLS and the NFL at the same time.
