After allowing its contract with Major League Soccer to expire in November, Fox Soccer has re-upped its contract with the league for a single year. Both sides have completed a deal that gives Fox Soccer the rights to carry up to 31 regular season games, plus three exclusive MLS Cup playoff matches.

The Fox Soccer package is MLS’ third broadcasting covenant. The league also has separate pacts with ESPN2 and Univision, both of which are set to expire in 2014.
