Questions people ask

What is the MLS Cup?

It is the championship match at the end of the MLS playoffs, and the winner is crowned league champion.

How long is a soccer match?

Two 45-minute halves plus stoppage time the referee adds for delays.

Why do some MLS clubs share names with European clubs?

Some borrow European-style names like FC or United as a nod to soccer tradition, but they are separate clubs. Others pick names from local history, like Sounders or Timbers.
