Major League Soccer
On March 12, 2020, the season entered a month-long suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, following the cancellation of several matches.[2] On March 19, the suspension was extended until May 10,[3] and on April 17, the suspension was extended further to June 8.[4] The COVID-19 pandemic is the first interruption of regular season play since the 2001 MLS season, in which many late regular season games were cancelled due to the September 11 attacks.
On June 10, MLS announced that a bracket format dubbed the "MLS is Back Tournament" would begin July 8 at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Walt Disney World, and end with the final on August 11.[5] The three group stage matches will count towards the regular season standings. Following the tournament, the MLS regular season will resume with a revised schedule, concluding with the playoffs and MLS Cup 2020.[6]
