MLS News

USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams has voiced his support for bringing promotion and relegation to MLS, saying it would improve the competitiveness of the league.

Why are so many former MLS All-Stars converging in Iowa to lead a fourth-division team on a U.S. Open Cup run?

Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano recognized the importance of reaching the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals as a young club, but warned against taking the quarterfinal series against LAFC for granted.

Peter Vermes left Sporting KC, and as he goes, so too does the idea of a singular leader of a modern MLS club.

Herculez Gomez praises the legacy Peter Vermes leaves at Sporting Kansas City, but says the club was "stuck in the past" under his leadership.
