MLS Wants 20 Teams in the Playoffs?! | Episode 200 + Miami/Philly Fallout & MLS News
Episode 200 of Battered Soccer Fans is here, and MLS gave us plenty to talk about. We’re breaking down the newly reported playoff format being considered for the future of Major League Soccer — including a possible 20-team postseason, play-in games, reseeding and a double-elimination element for the top teams. Nothing has been finalized yet, but if this proposal moves forward, it would be another major change to how MLS determines its champion. We’ll debate whether expanding the field actually makes the regular season more meaningful or whether allowing 20 clubs into the postseason is simply too many. We’ll also get into the aftermath of the heated Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union match, including the incidents that could receive additional disciplinary review, plus all the other major MLS news, rumors and transfer stories from around the league this week. And most importantly, we’re celebrating 200 episodes of Battered Soccer Fans.
