February 8, 2024 - MLS NEXT Pro (MLS NEXT Pro)
LA Galaxy II News Release


LOS ANGELES - LA Galaxy II today announced its 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Regular Season schedule. In their 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Home Opener, Los Dos plays host to Earthquakes II at home on Sunday, March 17 (5:00 p.m. PT; MLS Season Pass). MLS NEXT Pro's third season will begin Friday, March 15 and will feature 29 clubs: 27 MLS affiliates and two independent teams, Carolina Core FC and Chattanooga FC, who make their MLS NEXT Pro debut in 2024.

Every club will play 28 matches over 30 weeks (14 home/14 away), with clubs facing each divisional opponent three times as well as other intraconference rivals to round out this year's schedule.

The majority of regular season matches, plus all Decision Day matches, playoff matches and MLS NEXT Pro Cup, will be available to watch live on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app. Available in more than 100 countries and regions, MLS Season Pass can be viewed on billions of devices through the Apple TV app on Apple devices, smart TVs, streaming devices, set-top boxes, game consoles and online at tv.apple.com. The remainder of regular season matches will stream live on mlsnextpro.com.

DECISION DAY 2024

Twenty-eight of the 29 clubs in the League will compete on the final day of the regular season, Sunday, October 6. Fourteen matches will take place to determine final playoff positioning, with eight teams in each conference qualifying for the 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs. Eastern Conference matches will kick off at 1:00pm ET, followed by the Western Conference at 4:00pm ET. All Decision Day matches will air live on MLS Season Pass on the Apple TV app.

ENHANCED PICK-YOUR-OPPONENT FORMAT

The 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs will feature the return of the "pick-your-opponent" format that debuted during the 2023 postseason and quickly garnered widespread attention. This year will feature more teams qualifying for the playoffs, more teams making selections and more knockout matches being played.

Eight teams will qualify for the playoffs from each conference (16 total), with Seeds No. 1-4 in each conference hosting and selecting their opponents in the first round. In the second round, the highest remaining seed in each conference will select an opponent from any of the remaining three teams. This year's postseason will see 15 total matches, including MLS NEXT Pro Cup.

SHOOTOUTS RETURN IN 2024

There will once again be no ties in MLS NEXT Pro in 2024. A unique and exciting element in matches since the League's inception in 2022, shootouts featuring kicks from the penalty mark will once again decide matches that are tied after regulation this season. Each team receives one point for the draw in regulation, with the winner of the shootout receiving one additional point (two points total). The past two seasons, approximately 20+% of all regular season matches in MLS NEXT Pro resulted in a shootout.
