Podcasts came out of the gate more than a decade ago, giving opinionated hosts a platform to share their views on soccer, and to give listeners perspectives to weigh against their own. (Mainstream American sports radio, by contrast, has been slow to embrace soccer, though some radio stations now have soccer-specific shows or are working soccer content into their mix in some markets.)
Most soccer-centric podcasts share a basic people-talking-about-the-sport format, but offer some variances within that structure. Some employ humor, others bring insight, and others still strive for a mix of both.
With the Christmas and New Year’s holiday upon us, here’s a large (but by no means exhaustive) guide to soccer podcasts that are either MLS-focused or significantly MLS-inclusive, refreshed for December 2018. We’ve also updated it to include MLS-focused YouTube shows and channels.
If you have any favorites we haven’t covered here, please email details to [email protected].

Away from the Numbers
This podcast – headed up by MLSsoccer.com contributor Michael McColl – started life as a Scottish fanzine in 1989, found its way to Canada, and converted into digital form. Along the way, its founders decided to do a Whitecaps-themed podcast, which includes one of the Radio Cascadia crew.
