"Running with the Bulls" pregame will preceed all matches (30 mins) on MSG/FSNY
You will need the Direct Kick package to view this match.
CSN is still up in the air at this moment. Hopefully we'll know more soon.
Red Bull is stepping up big time. Televising every match not on ESPN2.

They've done that every year.

Which games did Red Bull televise last year?

MSG always has always had excellent coverage of the Metros/Red Bulls.

Most seasons the Mutts had every game televised, but they certainly did not last season. In fact they had quite a few games not on TV.

JP Dellacam' and Shep are a decent commentary combo. Plus, they usually have a pregame segment before all of the games too (airs on DirectKick).

Do you need to buy the MLS package on DirecTV or is there a free preview weekend to start the season?

I have read elsewhere that the first weekend is free, although I have also read that Comcast is notorious for not being prepared and not getting the signals going until the 2nd or 3rd week. DirectTV and Dishnetwork while both offering the package as well state they are ready as of April 1st so I am not certain. i will definitely tune in this Saturday to see.

There is a free preview this weekend. But I guess it's up to Comcast to get their act together.
I have to say MLS could do a better job putting it on their Web site.

I bought Direct Kick two years ago with Comcast and they had the games on from the first weekend. Doesn't mean that Comcast won't screw up, though.
