The 2025 Major League Soccer season is the ongoing 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. [4] The league's 30 teams are divided into the Eastern and Western conferences, which each have 15 teams. The regular season runs from February 22 to October 18 and comprises 34 matches for each team with a schedule that is primarily intra-conference with 6 inter-conference matches per team. [5] 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. [6] [7] 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. [6]
All MLS games will be 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. [8]
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. [9] The 2025 edition of the Leagues Cup took place between July 29 and August 31. [10]
The LA Galaxy are the reigning MLS Cup champions and Inter Miami CF are the Supporters' Shield holders, who set the all-time points record during the 2024 season.
Note: All teams use Adidas as universal kit manufacturer. As part of Apple's broadcast contract, all MLS kits will include Apple TV+ as a sleeve sponsor. [12]

The MLS regular season began on February 22 and is scheduled to end on October 18 with "Decision Day". Each team will play 34 matches—17 at home and 17 away—primarily against opponents from the same conference. The schedule includes 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 includes breaks for the FIFA Club World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup form 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. [39] The MLS Cup playoffs are scheduled to begin on October 22 and comprise 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 is a best-of-three round, which is then followed by single-elimination matches hosted by the team with the better regular season record. MLS Cup 2025 is scheduled for December 6.
