MLS officials are contemplating a potential break in line with FIFA’s international window, a departure from the American league’s traditional practice of not pausing during these periods.

As the new season’s international window approaches, players are gearing up to represent their home countries. The upcoming weeks will witness South America hosting the initial round of 2026 World Cup qualifiers, while Europe’s focus remains on Euro 2024 qualification matches.

The consideration stems from Lionel Messi’s presence at Inter Miami, as he’ll be engaged in international duty with Argentina in September, along with several other key players who will miss games due to international commitments.

Inter Miami’s head coach Tata Martino acknowledged this shift, telling reporters that it is likely to happen in the following year.
