History

Historical Context

MLS launched in 1996 when D.C. United won the first MLS Cup, beginning a league that survived early losses and a 2002 contraction to become a 30-team, North-American major sport with 2024 average attendance of over 23,200. Today, FC Dallas’s late-goal win over Real Salt Lake echoes that early competitive spirit as the league pushes toward further expansion.
