MUMBAI: Indian football fans, buckle up your boots and clear your Sunday night schedule—Lionel Messi is now part of your weekly primetime ritual. Warner Bros. Discovery just pulled off a neat bit of transfer business of its own, handing Eurosport India the exclusive broadcast rights to Major League Soccer’s (MLS) new crown jewel: Sunday Night Soccer.

Announced on 8 April 2025, the deal ensures that Indian audiences can now catch some of the world’s biggest football names—Messi, Suárez, Busquets, Alba and more—every Sunday, live and exclusive on Eurosport and Eurosport HD.

The MLS Sunday Night Soccer initiative is the league’s glitzy new primetime spectacle, pitting top-tier clubs and fierce rivals against each other in weekly headline fixtures. Expect fireworks from marquee matchups like El Tráfico (LA Galaxy vs LAFC), the Hudson River Derby (Red Bulls vs NYCFC), and the Cascadia Cup (Seattle Sounders vs Portland Timbers vs Vancouver Whitecaps).

The 2025 season builds on a blockbuster 2024 campaign where LA Galaxy snatched their sixth MLS Cup, while Inter Miami CF, co-owned by David Beckham and stacked with Barcelona alumni, topped the regular season to win their maiden Supporters’ Shield.

Sunday Night Soccer is Major League Soccer’s new prime-time initiative for 2025 season, showcasing the most high-stakes and headline-worthy match of the week. It also aims to become MLS’s marquee viewing event, drawing fans together across time zones.

With this high-profile addition, Eurosport India continues to flex its muscle as a destination for premium global sport, already home to world-class content across cycling, motorsport, wrestling and more. Now, with Messi’s left foot gracing Indian screens every Sunday, they’ve added a golden boot to the lineup.
