US online streaming rights to Japan’s top flight soccer league, the J-League, have been acquired by NGSN, the legal streaming service that has rights to leagues in the Netherlands (Eredivisie), Argentina, Chile, Portugal, Russia and other countries.

NGSN has the rights to the J-League for 2015 through 2017. Commentaries will be offered in English-language, while Japanese-language commentaries will be made available in the near future. Matches are streamed live but available on-demand after games are over. The commentaries are usually handled out of NGSN’s studios in Europe.

NGSN offers a free 30-day trial to their service. After that, it’s just $8.99 per month. NGSN streams to your computer, tablet or smartphone.
