Company Overview
Major League Soccer (MLS) is the top-tier professional soccer league in the United States and Canada. Founded in 1993 as part of the United States' successful bid to host the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the league began its inaugural season in 1996. MLS operates under a unique single-entity structure, where the league owns all teams and player contracts, and investor-operators hold shares in the league itself, granting them the right to run a team. This model is designed to control costs and maintain competitive balance. Headquartered in New York City, the league has grown from its original ten teams to 30 teams (27 in the U.S. and 3 in Canada). The league's business includes managing competitions, broadcasting rights, marketing, and expansion initiatives.
