About the MLS schedule
This is the 2026 MLS schedule, game night by game night, with start times in US Eastern and the venue for each match. Final scores go in as games end, so the same list doubles as a results page for all 30 clubs.
The regular season opened on February 21 and paused from May 25 to July 16 for the FIFA World Cup, which is why June has no games. Play resumed in mid-July for the stretch run to Decision Day on Saturday, November 7, and the playoffs begin after the November international break.
