The North American Soccer League Wednesday announced the return of national broadcast partner beIN SPORTS for the 2017 season.

NASL games will be carried live on beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS En Español throughout the 2017 season, just as they were last year.

“We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with such an incredible broadcast partner in 2017,” NASL interim commissioner Rishi Sehgal said in a statement. “beIN SPORTS has become a central destination for soccer fans, and we’re excited to have NASL included in its world-class programming lineup.”

During the 2017 season, games that air on beIN SPORTS’ TV channels will also be available online to authenticated viewers via beIN SPORTS CONNECT, the network’s live streaming platform. Live games will also be complemented by coverage within beIN SPORTS’ excellent lineup of studio programs.

The league plans on announcing its fall season lineup in several weeks.
