BREAKING: MLS owners officially voted to flip to a "summer-spring" format beginning in mid-July and running through the end of May. Will start in 2027. Also voted on the regular season format. Details and quotes here from Palm Beach. www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

MLS owners are *expected* to vote on flipping to fall-spring calendar at Thursday's BOG meeting. Changes to competition format also expected. Let's see if it actually comes to a vote, but implications are enormous. Exclusive details with @tombogert.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Forgot about this re: Apple TV move: NBC and Apple recently announced a $14.99 bundle of Apple TV and Peacock. So fans could get Premier League, F1 and MLS in that subscription bundle.

🚨Big news!🚨 The AGM will be at Simone’s on 12/14 - plan to come by to vote for the 2026 board, chat about #cf97 issues, and share ideas for the new stadium! Email Sean or hop on the virtual board meeting this Friday to declare for a position! 🔥VAMOS! 🔥

New: The Chicago Fire has signed midfielder André Franco on a permanent deal from Porto. Club agreed new transfer fee after ACL injury. Club also complete deal to sign Sweden int'l midfielder Anton Salétros. Gregg Berhalter on those deals + offseason plans: www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

I don't think I've reported this publicly or not but: The Colorado Rapids pushed hard for Brian Gutierrez this summer. Was one of their top options after selling Djordje Mihailovic. Colorado landed on a club-record deal for Paxten Aaronson, of course.
