MLS is aiming to finalize a deal this spring for Las Vegas to become the league’s 30th team, Commissioner Don Garber said Tuesday.
The city has been atop MLS’s list for some time and, should an agreement be reached, it would have a presence in three of the top five sports leagues in the United States. The Golden Knights entered the NHL in 2017, and the NFL’s Raiders relocated from Oakland in 2020.
An MLS team in Las Vegas would not begin competition for several years but would complete the league’s aim of expanding to 30 teams.
