Major League Rugby (MLR), is a North American professional Rugby Union league. It is sanctioned annually by USA Rugby, and is part World Rugby. MLR will operate with twelve teams in 2023, compared to the original seven in 2018. The teams will play in Dallas and Los Angeles, with the possibility of another in Canada.
Major League Rugby is divided into two conferences. Each conference will feature the top three teams in their division, and the winners of those conferences will meet in conference finals. A team will play in each conference once in the regular season. They will qualify for the playoffs if they win both conference finals.
The United States rugby community was the first to create the league. Several cities had bids on becoming the league's first franchises, including Vancouver and Los Angeles. However, those bids have not materialized as of yet. However, there is speculation that the league could have three West Coast clubs in 2021. It could expand to six teams in 2023.
World Rugby announced the 2031 hosting of the men’s World Cup in America in May. The 2032 date is set for the women's World Cup. This would mean that the US men's Eagles have one last chance to qualify for the 2023 World Cup in France.
MLR assisted in the sale of Los Angeles and Austin franchises. We hope to continue the growth and development of the sport at those locations. A franchise could also be formed in the Midwestern United States. There are currently no teams in the Midwest, however MLR indicated that there may be several.
One possible city in the Midwestern United States that has been in the running is Chicago. The previous owner of the city was a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently trying to bid for an MLR Franchise. He has 90-days to complete his application and meet the league expansion benchmarks. Whether he does or not, Major League Rugby has accepted his initial application.
The franchise buy-in price for 2019 is $4 million. This will cover all expenses for the league the first two years. The league will allow teams to draft players of the folded teams during this time. Approximately thirty percent of the players on these rosters will be imported.
2020 is the expected date for the collegiate Draft. Players will be eligible to participate after they have completed three years of college. For the first two years of the new league, there will be a single table format. The league will eventually change to a more complicated schedule. There will be two or three matches against conference opponents, as well as a home and away match against another conference.
Major League Rugby will have a new franchise in Chicago beginning in 2023. It will be the league's first club in the Midwestern United States, and will open competition for the region. Another possible location for a franchise is Sacramento, the Bay Area and Las Vegas.
