Major League Soccer is contemplating multiple ways to restart and conclude the 2020 season, which has been suspended indefinitely because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"From tournament formats and neutral locations, ultimately playing an abridged regular season, but doing everything to get as many games," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said to Taylor Twellman of ESPN.

Garber added that matches would likely occur behind closed doors should play resume this year.

MLS completed two matchdays before the pandemic forced an indefinite stoppage. The league announced it would remain in a holding pattern until at least May 10.
