The World Cup may be over, but there are still plenty of ways you can get your soccer fix. The Major League Soccer season is currently up and running, where you can watch teams from across the US compete for the top spot.
To help you keep up with the matches, I’ve broken down everything you need to know about the MLS season, including when it runs and where you can stream.
## When is the 2026 MLS season?
The 2026 MLS regular season kicked off on February 21 and runs through November 7.
