MLS targeting May return date with potential for a December MLS Cup

MLS announced on Thursday that the league has extended the suspension of matches after previously announcing a 30-day hiatus in the wake of the coronavirus.

The league is now targeting a May 10 return date after a decision from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to cancel all mass gatherings of 50 or more people over the next eight weeks.

As of Wednesday, there have been a total of 7,000 confirmed cases across the U.S., including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, as well as 97 deaths, while Canada has had 690 confirmed cases.
