Given the presence of players like Lionel Messi and Hugo Lloris, many football fans in Europe are indulging in the occasional MLS fixture. A league that is certainly growing, football in America is gathering momentum, particularly thanks to the Barcelona icon’s Inter Miami move and the 2026 World Cup that’s on the horizon. It isn’t always easy to keep tabs on the various developments in Major League Soccer, though.
For people on this side of the pond who are developing an interest in America’s top football league, podcasts, and YouTube channels are therefore seen as highly informative resources to turn to. In the same way that fans of the NFL watch YouTube to inform them ahead of placing big bets after looking at any Super Bowl odds and boxing fans listen to podcasts before backing the likes of Chris Eubank Jr. to see off Conor Benn, fans of MLS teams like Inter Miami and LA Galaxy can explore a plethora of top podcasts and some excellent YouTube channels. Below is a look at some of them.
Total Soccer Show
Starting with a podcast many soccer lovers in America adore, Total Soccer Show focuses on numerous aspects of American football, including Major League Soccer. With the podcast’s likeable hosts Taylor Rockwell and Daryl Grove overseeing proceedings, you’ll enjoy this one. While the pair do also look at European football and the US Men’s National Team, their main focus is undoubtedly on Major League Soccer and the drama that typically ensues in the competition.
Major League Soccer
As for YouTube, a great place to start is with the Major League Soccer channel. As the official channel of the league, it features everything an MLS fan could possibly want. There are match highlights shared, player and manager interviews uploaded, and some brilliant content around various skills players execute in the league, be it panenkas or nutmegs. Essentially, for all things MLS-related, subscribing to the Major League Soccer channel is a must.
The Scuffed Podcast
While The Scuff Podcast doesn’t solely focus on MLS, it occasionally takes a deep dive into the competition given the numerous U.S. men’s national soccer team players who play in the league. With regular episodes to listen to, it’s also a great option for fans who want to learn more about Mauricio Pochettino’s side heading into the World Cup.
Soccer Central
Another solid option on YouTube now and with Soccer Central, a channel that specialises in sharing a diverse range of content football fans on the whole will enjoy. Also featuring uploads around legendary players like Clarence Seedorf and some Premier League-related videos, the channel predominantly focuses on men’s soccer in the States.
Lozzz Productionz
Sticking with YouTube, Lozzz Productionz is a small channel that is growing on a consistent basis. A channel that covers almost everything MLS related, this likeable content creator shines a light on American football through a series of quality uploads. Additionally, Lozzz Productionz focuses on the various academy teams in America, with match footage and game highlights creating some truly enthralling content for fans to get stuck into.
Extratime
Firstly, it’s worth noting that the Extratime podcast has recently stopped after 15 amazing years highlighting the biggest news stories in MLS, although that shouldn’t stop you from scrolling through the catalogue of uploads. In fact, there are some classic episodes to check out, particularly for people who want to gain an understanding of the football landscape in America.
Other podcasts and YouTube channels to explore include MLS NEXT Pro (YouTube), MLS Assist (podcast), Sons of a Pitch Soccer Central (YouTube), and BSI: The Podcast (podcast).
