MLS suspends season until further notice, citing coronavirus - Sports Illustrated
"Our clubs were united today in the decision to temporarily suspend our season," Commissioner Don Garber said in a written statement, citing guidance from the U.S. Centres for Disease Control DC and other public health authorities.
MLS, which kicked off its 25th season late last month, is the most recent major professional sports league to suspend operations in light of the global pandemic, with the ATP announcing on Thursday that it would suspend its men's professional tennis tour for six weeks. The U.S. Soccer federation also confirmed reports that it had suspended upcoming friendlies for its men's and women's teams.
The world of soccer has been rocked by the coronavirus outbreak, with competitions across Europe suspended, postponed or played without fans.
