MLS matchday 17 preview: MLS is officially back!

Posted

MLS is officially back! Matchday 16 took place last week with a few teams in action while the World Cup was still going on, but the league is officially back in full business tonight. 

There have been a few massive signings during the World Cup break. Robert Lewandowski signed with the Chicago Fire, Kai Wagner returned to the Philadelphia Union, and Antoine Griezmann made his debut for Orlando City SC in a few friendlies. All three players are expected to make their regular-season debuts tomorrow.

We have 15 matches on deck for this midweek matchday, with Matchday 18 locked and loaded for Saturday.

Every match is viewable on Apple TV.
