Major League Soccer announced it was suspending all matches on March 12, joining the rest of the United States’ major leagues in halting play. The league has said it remains committed to finishing the 2020 season in full, but when will MLS resume play?
The 2020 season was set to be a landmark occasion for Major League Soccer. The 25th season featured a record 26 teams, including expansion clubs Inter Miami CF and Nashville SC. The league suspended play two matches into the 34-match season.
When Will MLS Resume 2020
Return Date: July 8
(Last updated June 26.)
Major League Soccer will resume with the MLS Is Back Tournament, which starts on July 8. The tournament features group-stage play and a single-elimination tournament.
Group-stage matches will count toward regular-season points, while the knockout tournament is solely for prize money. The final is scheduled for Aug. 11.
After the tournament, MLS will resume league play with hopes to play a revised, limited regular season slate before going into the playoffs, culminating in the 25th MLS Cup.
