WHAT IS THE SPRINT SEASON?

The 2027 MLS Sprint Season is a transitional competition that will bridge the league’s current calendar with its new summer-to-spring schedule, which begins in July 2027. During the Sprint Season, clubs will compete exclusively against teams in their own conference, with no interconference play. FC Dallas will face each of its 14 Western Conference opponents once, with seven home matches and seven away matches.

The Sprint Season will determine qualification for the Audi 2027 MLS Cup Playoffs, crown the 2027 MLS Cup champion and determine berths spots in the 2028 Concacaf Champions Cup and Leagues Cup. The top eight clubs in each conference will advance to the single-elimination playoffs, with every postseason match, including MLS Cup, hosted by the team with the higher position in the final 2027 Supporters’ Shield standings. MLS Cup will feature the first interconference matchup of the Sprint Season.

The playoffs will begin in May and will not pause for FIFA international windows. MLS clubs will also continue competing in domestic cup tournaments, including the 2028 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 2028 Canadian Championship.
