MLS Broadcast Graphics & Centralized Production Solutions
AE Live powers Major League Soccer (MLS) broadcasts on Apple TV with real‑time sports data, live graphics, and a fully centralised graphics production workflow designed for scale. Working in partnership with IMG, AE Live has helped transform how MLS match coverage is produced—delivering consistent, data‑driven storytelling across one of the largest weekly live football outputs in the USA.
Through a combination of MLS data visualisation, live sports graphics, and advanced remote‑operator workflows, AE Live ensures every match, studio show, and multi‑language feed is delivered with accuracy, speed, and creative consistency.
MLS Data Visualization & Real‑Time Integration
To enhance the Apple TV broadcast experience, AE Live developed a data‑driven graphics solution built around real‑time sports data for MLS. This system integrates directly with MLS’ official data provider, enabling operators to deliver fast, reliable, and context‑rich information throughout every match.
Key capabilities include:
Automated ingest of live match data (goals, xG, player tracking, match events)
Real‑time rendering of advanced MLS data visualisation packages
Consistent data formatting across English and Spanish feeds
Seamless integration with studio programming and virtual environments
This approach ensures that every graphic—whether a lower third, formation, heat map, or shot map—is accurate to the second and aligned with MLS’ broadcast standards.
