The Revolution welcome today’s Board of Governors vote to align Major League Soccer’s schedule with the international soccer calendar beginning in 2027, an important milestone in the continued evolution of our league. For years, the misalignment of our transfer windows has posed challenges for the Revolution and all MLS clubs, often complicating negotiations for both incoming and outgoing players, or causing disruptions for teams as they prepared to enter the playoffs. By adopting this new format, we will be better positioned to compete for top talent on equal footing with the leading leagues worldwide.

The summer-to-spring competition calendar also positions the MLS Cup Playoffs in May, the ideal timing and weather conditions for the most important part of our season, without interruptions for FIFA international windows. Now, our players can be in their best condition to compete in a championship season that better aligns with the rest of the soccer world.

We also appreciate the league’s proactive steps to minimize the impact of this transition on cold-weather markets like New England, where seasonal climates can significantly affect the matchday experience. Revolution fans can be confident that more than 90% of the league’s games fall within today’s current MLS footprint. Additionally, the league schedule will minimize the number of home games the Revolution play in the winter by having us on the road both before and after the winter break.

Finally, we are excited by today's announcement that starting in 2026, MLS will be available to all Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost, bringing our league to a wider audience, without a standalone subscription. Beginning next season, MLS full-season ticket holders will receive a full Apple TV subscription at no additional charge, providing enhanced value with access to every MLS and Leagues Cup match, with no blackouts, in addition to Apple TV's original series, films, and other live sports.
