The MLS (Major League Soccer) season began on February 25 and is scheduled to run until October 19. The season started with a game between Inter Miami CF and Real Salt Lake. This year marks the 29 season of the MLS, and it has started with a great official start, with Inter Miami currently in the lead and D.C. United in second place.

The soccer league’s 29 teams are divided into Western and Eastern conferences. This is the very first season since 2016 to have no new expansion teams joining the Major League Soccer, but San Diego FC is scheduled to participate in 2025.

The MLS is a professional soccer league founded in the United States and Canada in 1993. It is one of the top soccer leagues in North America, and it currently consists of 29 teams, with 14 teams in the Western Conference and 15 in the Eastern Conference.

The MLS has been growing in popularity over the years and has produced some great talent, with many players from the league going on to play for top European teams. The soonest the MLS plays again is Saturday, March 16th, at 2:00 pm. Make sure to tune in if you’re interested.
