Major League Soccer (MLS) is the top soccer league in the United States in the American Soccer Pyramid. It is sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), which is a member of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). When Toronto FC enters the league in 2007, MLS will replace the USL First Division as the top soccer league in Canada.
Format
The format for the 2006 season is as follows:
- Season runs from April 1, 2006 to a championship match played November 12, 2006.
- 12 teams split into two conferences of 6 teams each. Each team plays 32 games, 16 home and 16 away. Each team plays four games (two home, two away) against each opponent within its conference and two games (one home, one away) against non-conference opponents.
- The Four top teams from each conference qualify for a knockout tournament. Each conference will produce a conference winner with the conference winners playing for the MLS Cup, which is considered the league championship.
- The team with the best record in the 32 game regular season wins the MLS Supporters Shield and qualifies for the next CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The MLS Champion also Qualifies for the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. If the Supporters Shield winner wins the MLS Cup, the runner up to the Supporters Shield is the second qualifier.
- During the season, MLS teams may also compete in the U.S. Open Cup, the current CONCACAF Champions Cup, select international tournaments, and various exhibitions.
