MLS Jobs

Working in MLS: a growing league and where the jobs are

There are 461 open MLS roles across 31 organizations.

MLS is the fastest-growing league in North American sports, and its hiring reflects that: new clubs, new stadiums, and expanding front offices mean a steady stream of openings, many at the entry and coordinator level where a league this young still has room to grow.

The bulk of roles are commercial and operational: ticket sales and membership, corporate partnerships, marketing, content, matchday and stadium operations, and community work. Soccer operations, analytics, and academy roles exist at every club, and the academy and player-development side is a distinctive MLS path with no real equivalent in the other leagues. Analytics is growing but still leaner than MLB or the NBA, which can make it easier to get a first look.

Many MLS clubs share ownership with an NFL, NBA, or NHL team, so a business role with one organization can travel across the group. Realistic entry points are sales and service associate roles, matchday and seasonal positions, and club internships. Bilingual candidates and anyone with genuine soccer knowledge stand out. Apply directly to each club and the league office, where these roles post first.
