2025 Major League Soccer season

2025 Major League Soccer season

The 2025 Major League Soccer season was the 30th season of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top professional soccer league in the United States and Canada, and the 47th season overall of a national first-division league in the United States.

MLS expanded to 30 clubs this season with the addition of San Diego FC, an expansion team awarded in 2023. The league's 30 teams were divided into the Eastern and Western conferences, which each had 15 teams. The regular season ran from February 22 to October 18 and comprised 34 matches for each team, with a schedule that was primarily intra-conference with six inter-conference matches per team. There was a break for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup in late June but no break for the 2025 Leagues Cup in August. The San Jose Earthquakes hosted D.C. United on April 6, 2025, in a nod to the inaugural MLS match played by the same two teams, as part of recognition of the league's 30th anniversary.

All MLS games were broadcast on MLS Season Pass for the third year as part of a ten-year partnership between MLS and Apple Inc. for the broadcast and streaming rights to all MLS and Leagues Cup games, as well as select MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, hosted by the United States, took place during the middle of the season and included MLS participants Seattle Sounders FC, Inter Miami CF, and Los Angeles FC. The 2025 edition of the Leagues Cup took place between July 29 and August 31.

The LA Galaxy were the reigning MLS Cup champions and Inter Miami CF were the Supporters' Shield holders, having set the all-time points record during the 2024 season. The Philadelphia Union won the Supporters' Shield for a second time, while Inter Miami CF won a first MLS Cup title after defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3–1 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Regular season

Format

The MLS regular season began on February 22 and ended on October 18 with "Decision Day". Each team played 34 matches – 17 at home and 17 away – primarily against opponents from the same conference. The schedule included two matches against opponents in the same conference, comprising a total of 28 matches, and six matches against opponents from the other conference. The regular season included breaks for the FIFA Club World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup from June 15 to 24. MLS did not include a break in regular season play for the month-long Leagues Cup, which began in late July. The MLS Cup playoffs began on October 22 and comprised nine teams from each conference over five rounds in a variety of formats, beginning with a single match for the lowest-seeded wild card teams. The next round was a best-of-three round, which was then followed by single-elimination matches hosted by the team with the better regular season record. MLS Cup 2025 was played on December 6.

Broadcasting

2025 Major League Soccer season

Apple TV, through MLS Season Pass, held the rights to stream every MLS match around the world via a 10-year deal that started in 2023. This was the first season MLS Season Pass aired Sunday Night Soccer, a primetime Sunday game each week that was available to all Apple TV+ subscribers.

United States

This was the third-year of a four-year deal with Fox Sports for the exclusive rights to MLS games on linear television in the United States. Fox Sports aired 34 matches during the 2025 season, with 19 on Fox Sports 1 and 15 on Fox in English. All 34 matches aired in Spanish on Fox Deportes.

This was the first year DirecTV and Xfinity held the right to distribute MLS Season Pass to residential customers via their cable services.

For the first time, several teams announced agreements with local over-the-air stations, to rebroadcast matches at least 48 hours after their conclusion. FC Dallas announced an agreement with KDFI-TV, Charlotte FC with WAXN-TV, FC Cincinnati with WXIX-TV and Rock Entertainment Sports Network, LAFC with KCOP-TV, St. Louis City SC with KMOV-TV (the Matrix Midwest network) and the Seattle Sounders with KCPQ-TV. These were the first such agreements since 2022.

Canada

This was the third-year of a four-year deal with TSN and RDS for the exclusive rights to MLS games on linear television in Canada. TSN and RDS aired 41 matches during the 2025 season.

International

Internationally, since Apple TV acquired the rights to Major League Soccer in 2023, MLS Season Pass exclusively aired the MLS outside the United States and Canada. However, in 2025, Major League Soccer announced agreements with SBS in Australia, Dubai TV in the Middle East, TV3 in Spain, Sportdigital in Germany, and SkyK in South Korea to air Sunday Night Soccer matches.
