The 2021 MLS regular season is now set to kick off on Saturday, April 17.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber revealed that date during a call with reporters on Wednesday, with the league and teams rolling out promos in relation to the news.
Further details, such as when preseason training camps will open and when the regular season schedule will be unveiled were not specified on Wednesday’s call, although Garber said the preseason has effectively been pushed back roughly two weeks from the original target start date of Feb. 22. Two weeks from that date is Mar.
