What's unique about MLS compared to most soccer leagues?

  • No half-time

  • Single entity structure

  • Unlimited substitutions

  • Year-round season

Answer

In Major League Soccer (MLS), all teams are owned and operated by the league itself, forming a single entity structure, which distinguishes it from most soccer leagues worldwide. This unique setup brings several advantages, such as a balanced revenue-sharing mechanism among clubs, ensuring financial stability, fostering competitive parity, and allowing for centralized decision-making, providing the league with greater control over its operations and long-term strategic planning.
