Major League Soccer is poised to reach new heights in popularity as its MLS is Back tournament begins.
Originally, all 26 teams were invited to the summer tournament — which provided a World-Cup-like feel coupled with regular-season implications.
The teams were split up into six groups — one of six teams and five of four squads. However, Group B has been decreased to three teams after FC Dallas was forced to withdraw from the tournament after nine players and one staff member tested positive for coronavirus.
The groups are as follows along with their schedules:
Group A Schedule (All times Eastern)
Group B Schedule
Group C Schedule
Group D Schedule
Group E Schedule
Group F Schedule
The top three teams in Group A and the top two teams in Groups B, C, D, E, F gain automatic entry into the knockout round. The next three highest-ranked teams in the group stage based on points total will also advance.
Each group game will also have regular-season implications that will count toward the standings, which is MLS’ traditional format that began back in March. The league was able to complete two weeks before it was forced to stop play.
