Two more clubs are set to join the MLS ranks in 2017. Atlanta United and Minnesota United will bring the league up to 22 teams. LAFC (2018) and Miami (we’ll believe it when we see it) are set to follow them.
Today, Commissioner Don Garber announced the timeline we can expect for the introduction of the 25th and 26th teams, as well as a brief tease about 27 and 28.
The next two expansion spots up for grabs will be officially awarded “in the second or third quarter of 2017,” per MLSSoccer.com, with a goal to begin play by 2020.
