MLS expanded to 30 clubs this season with the addition of San Diego FC, an expansion team awarded in 2023.[4] The league's 30 teams are divided into the Eastern and Western conferences, which each have 15 teams. The regular season runs from February 22 to October 18 and comprises 34 matches for each team with a schedule that is primarily intra-conference with 6 inter-conference matches per team.[5] There will be a break for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup in late June but no break for the 2025 Leagues Cup in August.[6][7] The San Jose Earthquakes will host D.C. United on April 6, 2025, in a nod to the inaugural MLS match played by the same two teams, as part of recognition of the league's 30th anniversary.[6]
All MLS games will be broadcast on MLS Season Pass for the third year as part of a ten-year partnership between MLS and Apple Inc. for the broadcast and streaming rights to all MLS and Leagues Cup games, as well as select MLS Next and MLS Next Pro games.[8]
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, hosted by the United States, will take place during the middle of the season and includes MLS participants Seattle Sounders FC and Inter Miami CF.[9] The 2025 edition of the Leagues Cup will take place between July 29 and August 31.[10]
The LA Galaxy are the reigning MLS Cup champions and Inter Miami CF are the Supporters' Shield holders, who set the all-time points record during the 2024 season.
