The 2024 Major League Soccer season will be the 29th season of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top professional soccer league in the United States and Canada, and the 46th season overall of a national first-division league in the United States.
This will be the second season that Apple and MLS will be part of a ten-year partnership for the broadcast and streaming rights to all MLS and Leagues Cup games, as well as select MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games, on the MLS Season Pass service within the Apple TV app.[1] For the first time since the 2016 season, no new expansion teams will be joining MLS in 2024; San Diego FC is scheduled to join the league in 2025.[2]
The regular season is expected to begin in February 2024.[3]
FC Cincinnati are the reigning Supporters' Shield holders; Los Angeles FC and the Colombus Crew are the reigning Western and Eastern Conference champions respectively.
