MLS and Apple have announced its debut commentator pairings for the start of the 2023 MLS season. Beginning February 25, MLS Season Pass is the start of a new era for the league.

In total, there are over 80 names hired. That includes commentary pairings for English, Spanish and French broadcasts. Each of those languages has a studio crew, too, to provide pregame and postgame coverage for each of the games.

The commentator pairings listed below for the 2023 season are only for the start of the season. In other words, the pairs are not set in stone. They are flexible, and while the list of names is established, the links inside of it may change.

That being said, the pairings are something to look forward to ahead of the season.
