About the league
The USA's Major League Soccer (MLS) is a professional soccer league that was founded in 1996. The league has a rich history, with its inaugural season kicking off in 1996 with 10 teams. Today, MLS consists of 28 teams, divided into the Eastern and Western Conferences. Top teams in the league include the Los Angeles Galaxy, Seattle Sounders FC, and New York Red Bulls. The competition format features a regular season, followed by a postseason playoff tournament, culminating in the MLS Cup championship game. Notable achievements include the league's growing popularity, increased attendance, and successful international competitions, such as the CONCACAF Champions League. MLS has also become a platform for top players, including Thierry Henry, David Beckham, and Zlatan Ibrahimović, to ply their trade in the United States. The league continues to expand, with new teams and stadiums being added, further solidifying its position as a major player in American professional sports.
