The switch to a July-May season for the #MLS seems sensible for many reasons, and I think this is an important one: MLS matches are played in significantly higher temperatures compared to the top 🇪🇺 leagues.

Also, judging by those recent CPL highlights, snow football looks awesome, bring it on

With #MLS shifting their calendar in 2027, the one thing that goes away will be the league’s games on July 4. The question now becomes, what holiday should the league try to ‘own’ next?
