MLS, Liga MX to merge in future?
Major League Soccer and Liga MX may reportedly be merged together within the next five years.

Major League Soccer and Liga MX may reportedly merge together before 2026.

As it stands, as many as 26 teams compete across two divisions in the MLS, while 18 clubs contest Mexico's top flight.

However, according to ESPN journalist John Sutcliffe, discussions have taken place regarding a potential merger.

The report suggests that combining the two leagues would inevitably lead to longer seasons and less breaks between campaigns.

There has recently been an announcement regarding an all-star fixture to be held between the two leagues in the summer.

CONCACAF would need to support any change to the respective league systems given the ramifications for the continent's Champions League.
