The MLS League as a whole has come a long way in its young history, and with the new world-class coaches slowly coming into the league, it only gets more interesting and more competitive with each passing year, thus getting the recognition it deserves. With new teams, new players and teams eager to prove to the world they belong among the best, we are in for yet another great MLS season. Each club will play 34 games, including 17 home games and 17 away games. Teams will face each of their conference opponents twice during the season and non-conference opponents once. There is also a new playoff format for the 2019 season.
