Will it be on TV or will this mostly to fill the ESPN+ schedule?

Yes.

USL Championship has had a not-quite-regular game of the week on ESPN News or somesuch this year. My understanding is that the new arrangement makes this more consistent. Possibly not every week of the season (these are almost always Wednesday games), but more often next year than this year.

Of course, this league keeps adding teams and ESPN+ is the primary beneficiary. It'll be interesting to see what happens if some of the more independent teams get their wish and bump the MLS-team-owned development teams to USL League One.
