History

Historical Context

Major League Soccer began in 1996 with ten teams, debuting before 31,000 fans at Spartan Stadium and struggling financially before shifting to soccer-specific venues. The 2002 World Cup run boosted U.S. interest, and a 2022 Apple TV deal expanded streaming. By the 2026 Leagues Cup quarterfinal at PayPal Park, FC Dallas’s 1-0 win over Guadalajara exemplified the league’s multi-platform growth.
