The Major Arena Soccer League 3 (MASL 3) is a North American indoor soccer league that serves as the developmental league of the Major Arena Soccer League and MASL 2.
Established in the summer of 2020, MASL 3 is the third tier of indoor soccer in North America under the MASL banner. [1] [2] Grand Rapids Wanderers and Muskegon Risers II were the first two member clubs announced [3] with the Omaha Kings FC and Sunflower State FC named the same week. [4] [5] Wichita Wings II and Springfield Demize were also added to the inaugural MASL3 lineup. [6] [7] [8]
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic just four teams (Grand Rapids and Muskegon sat out) competed in the inaugural season of 2020–21. Omaha Kings FC finished the six-game regular season unbeaten and went on to capture the Heartland Invitational Cup with victories over Wichita Wings II (11-8) and Sunflower State FC (13-7). [9]
In September 2024, Major Arena Soccer League announced the unification of several former PASL member clubs to join MASL 3 in addition to a new women's league (MASL W). [10]
