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 MLS pays referees a fee for every game based on their experience. There are four experience levels. Level four referees, who have zero to 20 games of experience, received $700 per game, as of 2011. Level three referees, who have 21 to 40 games of experience, received $900.
