MLS

The second week of the re-started MLS regular season, like all of professional sports at the moment, took an unexpected turn this week.

Major League Soccer players boycotted five games Wednesday night in a collective statement against racial injustice.

This particular weekend sees some of the best rivalries MLS has to offer taking center stage on FOX Sports.

After 50 games spanning an entire month, 143 goals scored (at a healthy average of almost three per game), and endless uses of the word “bubble”, the MLS Is Back Tournament finally reaches its conclusion.

It’s time for the quarterfinals at the MLS is Back Tournament; all of a sudden, there are more teams at home than in Orlando, it’s a lot quieter around the host hotel, and everyone is now just three wins away from lifting a trophy.

After 36 games, 99 goals scored, and—surprisingly in the Central Florida climate—only two weather delays, the MLS Is Back Tournament now rolls into the knockout stage.

American team sports return to FOX this week for the first time since March, as the "MLS is Back Tournament: celebrates the resumption of Major League Soccer’s 25th season.

The announcements come a day after the NBA announced it would be suspending its season.

MLS is the second major North American sports league to suspend its season due to the coronavirus.
