The 2019 Major League Soccer season is the 24th season of Major League Soccer. The regular season began on March 2, 2019, and will end on October 6. The MLS Cup Playoffs will begin on October 19, and conclude with the MLS Cup 2019 on November 10, under a new format that differs from previous seasons. The playoffs will use single-match rounds and include 14 teams.[1]

FC Cincinnati joined the league as an expansion franchise, bringing the total number of clubs to 24.[2] Minnesota United FC opened their first soccer-specific stadium, Allianz Field, on April 13.[3]

Atlanta United FC are the defending MLS Cup champions, while New York Red Bulls are the defending Supporters' Shield winners.[4][5]

Teams

Stadiums and locations

  1. ^
    Non-soccer specific stadium and artificially reduced capacity.

The Portland Timbers announced in late 2018 that, due to expansion construction at Providence Park, they will play the first 12 games of the 2019 season on the road. The construction, which adds about 4000 seats (bringing the total capacity to just over 25,000), also includes a completely remodeled east side of the stadium, an updated concourse and concession stands on the west side of the stadium, a new scoreboard, ribbon boards and video board, and new turf. The stadium is expected to be ready to host MLS games in May or June 2019.[6] The first home game for Portland in their renovated stadium is scheduled to be held on June 1, 2019, against Los Angeles FC.[7]

SuperDraft

The MLS SuperDraft is an annual event, taking place in January of each year, in which the teams of Major League Soccer select players who have graduated from college or otherwise been signed by the league. The first two rounds of 2019 MLS SuperDraft were held on January 11 in Chicago. Rounds three and four of the 2019 SuperDraft were held via a conference call on January 14. FC Cincinnati selected Frankie Amaya with the first overall pick.

Allocation ranking

The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a player who is in the MLS allocation list. The MLS allocation list contains select U.S. National Team players and players transferred outside of MLS garnering a transfer fee of at least $500,000. The allocations are ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2018 season, taking playoff performance into account.[48] As an expansion team, FC Cincinnati took the top spot.

Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking. At all times each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS season.
