Major League Soccer was founded in 1993 and ran its first season in 1996. As an exchange for letting the USA host the FIFA World Cup 1994, FIFA demanded that the host nation establish a professional soccer league so MLS was founded. Before 1996 the biggest teams in the USA and Canada competed in the North American Soccer League, NASL.
Soccer has always found it tough to compete against the more traditional sports in the USA and Canada like hockey, baseball, American football, and basketball. Low attendance at the games and difficulties in tying good players to the league are two of the problems MLS has been dealing with. More recently MLS has got a real upswing and both USA and Canada produce some world star players, who’ve also found their way into the European soccer leagues. Christian Pulisic in Chelsea and Alphonso Davies in Bayern Munich to mention a few.
29 teams are competing in the MLS, 26 from the USA and 3 from Canada. The teams are divided into two conferences: Western Conference with 12 teams and Eastern Conference with 14 teams. The MLS season is usually played from February to October. After the regular season, it’s time for the best teams to proceed into the Playoffs. The Playoffs are played in a knock-out format and take place in October before the MLS Cup is played in early November, the game where the champion is crowned.
MLS Cup is the name of the game that decides the winner of the MLS season. Since 2008 the trophy that has been handed out to the winning team is the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy. The game between the winner of the Western Conference and the winner of the Eastern Conference in November is played at a pre-determined venue before any Playoff teams are known.
Los Angeles Galaxy has won the trophy five times which is more than any other team. Toronto FC and Seattle Sounders are the most successful teams in recent seasons with three final appearances in the last four seasons. The player who has won the MLS Cup most times is Landon Donovan with six trophies.
