•MLS is exploring a calendar overhaul. The case for (and against) change is clear
82% Informative
Major League Soccer is considering an overhaul of the MLS calendar.
The league is conducting research and discussing the possibility with top execs at each club.
The potential changes will be a key agenda item when the league’s sporting and competition committee meets Nov. 20-21 in Los Angeles .
MLS teams could benefit from a two-month midseason break to avoid winter weather.
Proponents of change point to the fact that, currently, MLS seasons already begin in February and conclude with MLS Cup in early December .
The counterargument, and resistance to change, is rooted in the fear that fans won’t show up in the winter.
Three-month-long competition would fill the spring of 2026 .
Some say it's better than the standard early-season grind would be as a World Cup lead-in.
Some clubs would probably make less money in 2027 if the calendar is flipped.
But, they must ask themselves, would they get more TV and commercial revenue in 2037 ?.
