Major League Soccer's announcement on Thursday that it will expand to 30 teams has shaken up the expansion race. Here are the markets in the race
Major League Soccer expansion has seen the league grow in ways few could have imagined 15 years ago, when contraction forced the league to shrink to 10 teams, leaving its future in doubt. There are no longer questions about whether the league will survive. Those have been replaced with questions of how much more can the league grow.
The 24-team league will expand to 26 in 2020 with the arrival of Miami and Nashville.
