The MLS commissioner says the league will almost certainly go past the previous benchmark for expansion
FC Cincinnati is set to become the 24th team in MLS in 2019. Inter Miami and Nashville will follow soon after with Austin expected to join the fray as well. At some point, MLS will reach the much-discussed number of 28 teams and, according to MLS commissioner Don Garber, the league will almost certainly roll right past it.
Speaking at his annual State of the League address, Garber says that there is "no doubt" in his mind that MLS will expand past 28 teams going forward.
