Bet on MLS at 1xBet
MLS runs as a single league stage before the playoffs decide the title. Inter Miami CF holds the trophy from the 2025 season. You can follow this event and check MLS odds at 1xBet.
Overview of the Major League Soccer competition
MLS sits at the top of American football. Under the governance of Major League Soccer, LLC, the competition operates as the top division in the USA.
You'll see a regular season feed directly into playoffs to decide the champion. That playoff finish is why MLS betting often hinges on late-season form rather than just league points alone. A quick look at the key facts below sets the stage for how the tournament runs.

Format and teams in the 2026 season
The 2026 MLS season runs with 30 teams. These clubs split into Eastern and Western Conferences for a regular stage where each side plays 34 matches on an unbalanced schedule. Only the team topping the points list at that stage takes the Supporters' Shield.
History shaped the format from the start. The league launched in 1996 with ten teams, following a 1993 founding tied to the 1994 FIFA World Cup bid. Infrastructure grew slowly until Historic Crew Stadium opened in 1999 as the first soccer-specific venue. By 2008, a majority of clubs played in dedicated stadiums after Real Salt Lake moved into Rio Tinto Stadium. A shift to a summer-to-spring calendar begins in 2027, though that change arrives after this season.
You can bet on MLS across the full slate of fixtures and the title race. Some sides have lifted the trophy multiple times while others wait for their first win. Ranked by total trophies, the data below shows each title-winning club that has won the championship.

Past champions and record holders
Inter Miami CF holds the title: the club won their first MLS Cup in 2025 to cap off a historic campaign for the franchise. That victory stands alone on their trophy shelf so far.
The LA Galaxy own the league record. They have lifted the cup six times, more than any other side in Major League Soccer history. The Philadelphia Union are the current Supporters' Shield holders after claiming their second title in 2025.
Expansion has reshaped the competition over time. In 2012, the Montreal Impact joined as the 19th franchise, becoming the third Canadian team. New York City FC paid a record $100 million fee to enter in 2015, while Atlanta United FC started play in 2017 as the 22nd member.
Chris Wondolowski remains the all-time top scorer with 171 goals across his league tenure. Nick Rimando holds the mark for most appearances, having played 514 matches. A $2.5 billion broadcasting deal signed in 2022 secured coverage through Apple Inc starting in 2023. These structural facts feed directly into how you read the odds before placing a stake. Following this, the table lists these specific records and title counts for quick reference.

Types of MLS bets at 1xBet
The match result is the anchor for any MLS slip. You pick a home win, a draw, or an away outcome before the final whistle blows. Because a draw counts as a legitimate result in Major League Soccer, the three-way market remains the standard starting point. Double chance narrows that risk by covering two of the three possibilities at once.
Handicaps adjust the balance when one side is heavily favored. European handicaps add or subtract goals from the final score, while the Asian option can refund your stake if the margin lands exactly on the line. Totals markets ask a simpler question about whether the combined goal count finishes over or under a set figure. Both teams to score focuses strictly on whether each side finds the net at least once.
Correct score is a high-variance wager that demands you predict the exact final tally. First goalscorer pricing reflects form and starting lineups, settling only if your pick opens the scoring account. This outright market runs for the entire season and pays out to the club that wins the playoffs after the regular league stage concludes. You can combine any of these selections into an accumulator to multiply the potential return. Odds shift as team news breaks and match conditions change throughout the week.
Match markets
Match result anchors the slip, and the MLS allows a draw after 90 minutes, so every match carries three distinct outcomes to price. You can cover two of those possibilities with double chance, or shift the risk entirely using handicaps when one side is heavily favoured.
Match result (1x2) on home win, draw, or away win
Double chance to cover two outcomes in one stake
Asian and European handicaps for uneven matchups
Over/under totals on the final goal count
Outright and specials
Outright odds on the eventual MLS champion are open before the first match and move as the competition unfolds. Specials cover specific outcomes that do not fit into standard match result or totals markets. You place a single wager on the season's final winner rather than points accumulated during the regular league stage.
