MLS 2026

MLS League Format

Major League Soccer (MLS) is the top professional football league in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1993 as part of the agreement to host the 1994 FIFA World Cup, MLS has grown from 10 founding clubs to over 29 franchises across North America. The league uses a franchise model with a salary cap and operates a playoff system rather than promotion and relegation. Atlanta United, LA Galaxy, and Seattle Sounders have been among the most successful clubs. MLS has attracted global stars including Thierry Henry, David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Lionel Messi, significantly raising the profile of football in North America.
