Major League Soccer players in the United States get paid more than the majority of soccer players in the world, but are by no means the top earning players in the world of soccer. The league minimum wage for 2013 is $35,125. The AVERAGE MLS player salary is about $135,000 a year, with 249 players in the league making over $100k. Thatâs a huge step forward from just 10 years ago when many MLS player salaries were not enough to pay the bills, forcing them to get jobs outside of soccer to supplement their income.
The 2015 Major League Soccer season features 20 total clubs (17 based in the United States, 3 based in Canada). The regular season is held from March 6 through to October 25, whereas the MLS Cup Playoffs will be held from October 28 to early December. The defending MLS Cup champions are the LA Galaxy, while Seattle Sounders FC are the defending Supporters' Shield winners.
