Specify dates and datasets rather than buying an undefined “2027 season”. MLS’s updated schedule places the Sprint regular season between 19 February and 8 May 2027; the league’s new summer-to-spring calendar begins in July 2027. MLS, 29 October 2026 schedule; MLS calendar FAQ, checked 3 November 2026. (mlssoccer.com)

Recommended renewal questions:

  • Does the order include both the Sprint Season and 2027–28 competition records?
  • Are they separate competition-season identifiers in the API?
  • Is charging based on contract duration, competition seasons, matches or another unit?
  • What happens to prior-season video and stored exports at renewal?
  • Are delivery commitments and support periods continuous through the transition?

The shorter Sprint Season is not, by itself, evidence that a subscription should be proportionately cheaper. Price the actual licence and service scope, then compare alternatives on that basis.
