League One has focused on launching new clubs in markets that possess strong local ownership groups, populations with broad-based diversity, a vibrant millennial and strong family base, established corporate support, and stadiums to properly showcase the sport for fans, partners and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entirety of League One\u2019s regular and post-season is available to stream live on ESPN+, placing it side-by-side with some of the best professional soccer in North America and the rest of the world. The partnership with ESPN exposes League One to the already 2 million ESPN+ subscribers and gives passionate fanbases the ability to follow their clubs as they travel around the country.
