The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the US is set to return in June with a 25-game tournament featuring all nine of its teams taking place in Utah. The tournament will replace the 2020 season and begin June 27.
Major League Soccer is working on plans for a tournament of its own to begin in late June in Orlando, Florida. The tournament would see the league’s 26 teams scrap the league’s 34-game season and replace it with a short one-location tournament.
According to the LA Times, “The Orlando tournament will reportedly consist of a short group-play stage, with those games counting in the regular-season standings. That will be followed by an elimination stage leading to a championship game. Teams will then return to their home markets in the hopes of finishing a shortened regular season, followed by playoffs that could extend deep into the winter.”
