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.
Unlike MLS, in which the playersâ union posts contract figures twice per year, USL salaries are not circulated. Most players are paid during the spring-to-fall season only. There is no minimum salary. An above-average player is estimated to earn $2,000 a month, with some making $3,000 and more. The prospective union group has been distributing authorization cards to players. If a majority shows support, Philipakos will ask the league for formal recognition.
