Major League Rugby, also known as MLR in North America, is a professional rugby union league. It is sanctioned in part by USA Rugby. MLR will operate with twelve teams in 2023, compared to the original seven in 2018. The teams will play in Los Angeles and Dallas, with the possibility of one in Canada.
Major League Rugby will have two conferences. Each conference will have the top three division winners, with the conference finals featuring the conference champions. Each conference will have one team. A team will be qualified for the playoffs if it wins both conference finals.
The United States rugby team was the original founders of the league. Several cities had bids on becoming the league's first franchises, including Vancouver and Los Angeles. However, bids for the league's first franchises have yet not been received. There is still speculation that there will be three West Coast teams for the league in 2021. This could potentially expand to six in 2023.
World Rugby announced the 2031 hosting of the men’s World Cup in America in May. The 2032 women's World Cup will be held. This would allow the US men’s Eagles to still qualify for the 2023 World Cup, France.
MLR worked on the Los Angeles, Austin, and Los Angeles franchises. They hope to continue the sport's growth in these areas. There are also opportunities to start a franchise in the Midwestern United States. While there are no current teams in midwest, MLR has suggested that there could be.
Chicago has been mentioned as a potential Midwestern United States city. The city's owner previously had a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently trying to bid for an MLR Franchise. He has 90 days to submit his terms and conditions and must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby has accepted his first application.
The 2019 franchise buy-in price was $4 million. This will cover all expenses for the league the first two years. During this time, teams can draft players from the teams that have folded. Approximately thirty percent of the players on these rosters will be imported.
2020 will be the date for the collegiate draft. The collegiate draft will allow players to take part after they have completed three college years. In the first two years, the league will use a single-table format. In the future, the league may move to a more challenging schedule that includes two or three games against other conferences and a home-and-away match against the other conference.
Major League Rugby will have a new franchise in Chicago beginning in 2023. It will be the league’s inaugural club in the Midwestern United States and will provide competition for the region. Other potential locations for a future franchise include Sacramento, the Bay Area, Las Vegas, and Vancouver.
