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.
It depends on the player. There are 15 MLS players on the U.S. preliminary 30-man World Cup roster. Because of MLS's salary structure â where a handful of designated players make seven-figure salaries and everyone else makes much less â the World Cup bonus money means different things to different players. The highest-paid MLS player on the team, Clint Dempsey, makes $6.7 million per year from the Seattle Sounders. That World Cup bonus money isn't a life-changer. The lowest-paid MLS player on the team, DeAndre Yedlin, makes $92,000 a year from the same team. If he makes the World Cup team, that bonus would nearly double his annual income.
