The 2019 Major League Soccer season kicks off on Saturday, and you can catch all the action on ESPN -- beginning on Sunday with D.C. United hosting Atlanta United (6 p.m. ET) and LAFC vs. Sporting Kansas City (8:30 p.m. ET) -- ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ all season plus the latest news and storylines here on ESPN.com.
Before the first ball is kicked, ESPN FC asked its contributors to make their predictions for the upcoming campaign. U.S. writer Jeff Carlisle, sideline reporter Sebastian Salazar, contributors Noah Davis, Jason Davis and Arch Bell, editor Austin Lindberg and social media expert Chris Wondoloski -- no, not that Chris Wondolowski -- look into their crystal ball to tell us what's to come in 2019.
