MLS’s New Era Begins with Larry Berg | Chicago News
Description
MLS is set to usher in a new era with Larry Berg taking the helm as commissioner, bringing his proven track record from LAFC’s 2022 MLS Cup win and international experience with clubs like AS Roma and Swansea City. Berg will succeed Don Garber, who’s stepping down after 25 years to chair through the 2026 World Cup, having grown the league from 12 to 30 teams. Under Berg, MLS will overhaul its schedule, shifting to a summer-to-spring calendar aligned with global leagues — starting with a shortened 2027 season before launching the new format in July 2028. This bold move signals MLS’s ambition to solidify its global standing and elevate competition and player development.
