Major League Rugby (MLR), is a North American professional Rugby Union league. It is sanctioned in part by USA Rugby. MLR will host 12 teams in 2023 as opposed to seven in 2018. The teams will play in Dallas and Los Angeles, with the possibility of another in Canada.
Major League Rugby will be split into two conferences. Each conference will host the top three teams from their respective divisions, and conference winners will be matched in finals. Each team will only play in one conference during the regular season. They will qualify for the playoffs if they win both conference finals.
The league was founded as an initiative of the rugby community in the United States. The league had several bidders including Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. These bids have yet to materialize. 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 in May that 2031 will see the hosting of the men's World Cup in the United States. The 2032 Women's World Cup is planned. This means that the US men's Eagles will have one more chance to qualify in France for the 2023 World Cup.
MLR was involved in the sale and growth of the Los Angeles and Austin franchises. There is an opportunity to create another franchise in Midwestern United States. While there are no current teams in midwest, MLR has suggested that there could be.
Chicago is one city that may be considered for the Midwestern United States. The previous owner of the city was a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently preparing a bid to acquire an MLR franchise. He has a 90-day deadline to fulfill the terms of his application. Major League Rugby has now accepted his initial request, regardless of whether or not he makes it.
The franchise buyin price as of 2019 is $4,000,000. This will cover the league's expenses in the first two years. During this time, teams will be allowed draft players from folding teams. About thirty percent of these players will be imported.
The collegiate draft is set to take place in 2020. The collegiate draft will allow players to take part after they have completed three college years. For the first two years of the new league, there will be 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 establish a new franchise for Chicago starting in 2023. It will become the league's first Midwestern United States team and open the door to competition in the region. Another possible location for a franchise is Sacramento, the Bay Area and Las Vegas.
