Major League Soccer, more commonly referred to as the MLS, is the highest level football, or soccer division, that takes place in the United States of America. At present, twenty-nine teams in total compete in the MLS, with twenty-six from the US and three from Canada. The league, as is the case with many sports in the US, is divided into two conferences – Eastern and Western. In 2025, the MLS saw an expansion to a total of thirty teams.
The MLS has now been running for close to thirty years, having debuted in 1996. The winner of the MLS is determined by the MLS Cup Playoffs, with the eventual winner lifting the MLS Cup and, therefore, being declared the MLS champions for that year.
LA Galaxy remains the most successful team on this front, with six titles to their name, having won their last MLS title in 2024. Inter Miami are the defending MLS champions after winning the title in 2025, though they are not clear favourites to repeat the feat.
Major League Soccer is popular globally, and it’s loved in the US and Canada too. Therefore, multiple betting markets that cover the MLS are available.
It doesn’t matter what soccer division it is; placing wagers on which team will be the champions is a popular choice. And the MLS is no different in this respect. However, what is different is that there is a playoff campaign, which will eventually lead to the winner of the MLS Cup being determined. Betting on the winner of the MLS Cup is also placing wagers on who will be the number one team in the MLS.
Goals always change games, and they can often be the difference between winning and losing. So, betting on which player will be the top scorer in the MLS has become something many have a keen interest in, especially when the league continues to be blessed with some great goalscorers.
Every match in the MLS is available to bet on in both the regular season and in the playoffs. There is the option to place bets on fixtures before kick-off, and there’s also the opportunity to bet live in real-time too. For match result betting, odds will be determined by the form of teams, head-to-head records, injuries, etc.
In-play betting while the action is underway will see odds adjusted during, based on what is happening on the pitch at the time.
A Same Game Parlay in MLS is a bet where you combine multiple selections from one single MLS match or MLS matches into one single bet. In order to settle this parlay as a winning bet, all selections need to win. You get higher odds with a SGP than betting on each market separately.
