Major League Soccer has teamed up with eMLS players to host the eMLS Tournament Special presented by Coca-Cola and PlayStation which will be broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes starting on April 19th.
The tournament will see 12 MLS franchises participate, with a professional footballer partnering with a professional FIFA player across four weeks of competition with the winners from each week advancing to the final week, where a champion will be determined.
“The eMLS Tournament Special represents the spirit of MLS Unites by entertaining fans and giving back to our communities” Camilo Durana, Vice President of Properties and Events for MLS said in an official statement. “We’re thrilled many of the league’s top players are joining our eMLS participants to compete and also provide benefit for those on the front lines.
“We are also thankful to FOX Sports and all of our partners for their collaboration on the innovative series that will be both fun to watch and make a difference.”
Both MLS and FOX Sports will make a donation to Feeding America after the conclusion of each week, and they will support Food Banks Canada as well.
