In what is likely the worst kept secret this year, Major League Soccer has announced that they’ll be returning to play in local markets this month.
The revived MLS has planned 18 regular season games in what the league is calling a “phased approach.” The season will end on Nov. 8, and the playoffs will begin Nov. 20. It’s likely there won’t be any stoppages for international play, but at this point, I don’t think you can rule anything out.
Various reports, including this one from Salt Lake Tribune reporter Alex Vejar, indicate that the club is seeking for matches to be played in front of fans, which at this point would be fairly unprecedented.
