Major League Rugby is a North American rugby union league. It is sanctioned and part of World Rugby. MLR will have 12 teams in 2023, as opposed to the seven that were established 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 feature three of the best teams from each division. Conference finals will be held between the winners. Each conference will host a team once during the regular season. If a team wins both conference finals, they will qualify for the playoffs.
The United States rugby union initiated the formation of the league. Many cities were interested in becoming the league's first franchises. Los Angeles and Vancouver were two of them. These bids have yet to materialize. The league is expected to have three West Coast team in 2021. However, the league could expand to six West Coast teams in 2023.
In May, World Rugby announced that the men's World Cup will be hosted in the US in 2031. The 2032 date is set for the women's World Cup. This means that the US men's Eagles will have one more chance to qualify in France for the 2023 World Cup.
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. While there are no current teams in midwest, MLR has suggested that there could be.
Chicago has been mentioned as a potential Midwestern United States city. The city's owner previously had a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently working on a bid for an MLR franchise. He has 90 days to submit his terms and conditions and must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby has accepted his first application.
As of 2019, the franchise buy in price is $4,000,000. This will cover expenses for the league's first two years. The league will allow teams to draft players of the folded teams during this time. Around thirty percent will be imported.
2020 will see the commencement of the collegiate draft. Once players have completed three years in college, they will be eligible to take part. The new league will have a single table format for the first two years. 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's new Chicago franchise will be open in 2023. It will be the league’s first Midwestern United States club and will create competition for the area. Other possible locations include Sacramento, Las Vegas, Vancouver, and the Bay Area.
