MLS and Apple will broadcast “Sunday Night Soccer” as the first major change in the second year of the 10-year contract between the league and its streaming partner.

Last season, the majority matches were played on Saturdays. The Sunday night match should feature one of the best matchups of the week, according to the league. Atlanta United will be featured March 16 against Inter Miami at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, two more home matches May 25 against Cincinnati, Aug. 24 against Toronto and Oct. 5 at LAFC. The Sunday night match will include Jake Zivin, Taylor Twellman, and Andrew Wiebe on the call for the broadcasts in English, and Sammy Sadovnik and Diego Valeri in Spanish.

The MLS Season Pass provided by Apple will also be available for certain customers of T-Mobile, Comcast Xfinity and DirecTV.
