Major League Soccer (MLS) is not one of the major US sports leagues. But their development progresses in small steps. The fact that most of the 2026 World Cup will take place in the USA should also contribute to this.
Football in the USA – that has been a constant announcement for half a century. Major League Soccer (MLS) is still overshadowed by the more popular sports of American football, basketball and baseball, but the league has thrived behind the major leagues NFL, NBA and MLB. This also has to do with the fact that football at high school and college level is not only popular with the many immigrant children from South America.
