The regular season of the American league begins on February 21, with each team set to play 34 games. The regular season will conclude on November 7. However, the league will pause from May 25 to June 16 for the World Cup matches, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The league's opening phase starts on February 21. The 'Inter Miami' team, led by Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, will open its new 'Freedom Park' stadium on April 4 against Austin. This was announced by Major League Soccer (MLS) on Thursday when it unveiled the schedule for the 2026 season. The irony is that the league announced the resumption of matches even before the final of the '2026 World Cup' on June 19.
