Some MLS regular season viewership figures on Apple:
Viewership increased 93% YoY vs. 2025. Obviously, removing the Season Pass paywall helped.
In line with what we've seen from the EPL & LaLiga, young demos were substantially up, with P18–34 viewership on Fox/FS1 up 45% YoY.

Nashville SC started from the grass roots with a bunch of guys in a bar with a dream. Began as an amateur supporters' owned club and grew into what it is today.

I make a living because of my expertise. Nobody has ever *given* me anything in this country. I’ve built it. But I’m grateful to be here and love it.
Looks like MLS gained popularity with the bettors after the World Cup and Soccer in general.

"It's not a coincidence by any means that the club has produced this number of young players to go on to play at these levels."
Mark Mackenzie on why the Philadelphia Union Academy has developed so many talented players in the U.S. player pool and the professional game as a whole:
"I'd say it goes down to, honestly, the infrastructure of the club and the belief in young players.
They go through the due process to develop further and be in an environment where professionalism is required, but ultimately, they get the opportunity to showcase that at the highest level of the domestic league. The club has done that phenomenally.
If you think back to players before us who were in the academy and came up to play for the first team, and now look at how many players have gone through the Development Academy, MLS NEXT Pro, the USL, Philadelphia Union 2, and Bethlehem Steel, you look at all the opportunities the club has provided.
Honestly, it's not a coincidence by any means that the club has produced this number of young players who have gone on to play at these levels.
So it's the belief they have in us, but also putting us in the right environment to create that sense of demand for what's required to play at this level."

I know there's Messi fatigue, but if you're an MLS fan wondering where the league is going in 2027 and beyond, this book explores the business of soccer in America and what's influencing MLS owners and execs as they weigh the league's evolution.
