Per Sports Business Journal, it is a a MINIMUM GUARANTEE of 250 million per year, with upside potential. Meaning, MLS will get a percentage of all subs world wide as well that will/could take it over 250 million per year.

They can also sell the linear rights to ESPN/Fox/Univision for the US and even to other countries. It would just not be exclusive, meaning Apple would get to simulcast those games on its streaming service with no blackouts.

Also means no blackouts AT ALL anywhere. If you subscribe, you get every single game no matter if its only on Apple or if its simulcast on ESPN/Fox/Univision.

Also, interesting wrinkle, all season ticket holders will get the subscription to Apple TV free
