MLS and Liga MX aren’t ruling out a merger, but they’re not taking that step yet

Don Garber, right, commissioner of Major League Soccer, and Mikel Arriola, left, Liga MX president, announce the MLS All-Star game will be played at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. Major League Soccer’s decision to join Liga MX on a cross-border all-star game this summer isn’t necessarily a step toward a long-rumored merger of North America’s two most prominent soccer leagues. And it’s unique,” said Liga MX President Mikel Arriola, who said 18% of U.S. soccer fans follow his league. MLS typically averages about half that for regular-season games, lagging behind both the Liga MX and the English Premier League in the U.S. And the audience for last year’s MLS Cup on Fox was 1.071 million, 30% of the audience the Liga MX final drew.
