I appreciate the arguments against USL shifting the calendar, but MLS is the big dog in the US and they can dictate the player market. PRO/REL won’t solve this.
MLS Next Pro will join MLS in shifting to an August to May calendar in 2027. The arguments against shifting the calendar are theoretically sound and were until yesterday worthy of discussing , but in my opinion they are now irrelevant for USL.
If the other am men’s professional leagues are playing on one Calendar in this country, you cannot play on the other and expect to fully take part in the transfer market and player side. Complicating this even more is if promotion and relegation is implemented and the player market is self-contained and not linked to MLS It could be disastrous financially for the USL clubs.
