TORONTO – Major League Soccer has extended its season hiatus for the next eight weeks.
Like many leagues, the North American soccer circuit announced a 30-day suspension of play on March 12 due to the COVID0-19 outbreak. It extended that suspension Thursday, citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance to postpone events involving more than 50 people over the next eight weeks.
The league said it is committed to playing the entire 2020 season and is evaluating all options, including pushing back the end of the season and playing the MLS Cup in December, as the league did prior to the 2019 season.
