Major League Soccer

Major League Soccer (MLS) is a professional soccer league in the United States and Canada. It is the top tier of soccer in North America and operates under the governance of the U.S. Soccer Federation. Founded in 1993, with its inaugural season taking place in 1996, MLS has grown from a small number of teams to a diverse league featuring clubs from various cities across both countries. The league follows a franchise system, and it includes multiple rounds of play, culminating in a playoff system to determine the league champion. MLS has become a significant force in advancing the popularity of soccer in the U.S. and has drawn international attention with the signing of prominent players and coaches. The league aims to develop American soccer talent and increase the sport’s visibility and appreciation in North American culture.
