The MLS is Back Tournament is set to kick off on Wednesday, July 8 in Orlando, Florida with a meeting between Orlando City and Inter Miami as the league returns from its temporary hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The league’s 26 teams were split into six groups for the tournament which will be held without fans. All teams will play three group matches with the top 16 teams advancing to the knockout round and the winner earning a spot in the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.
FC Dallas, however, withdrew from the tournament.
Group play will run through July 23.
The final match will be played on August 11 and the prize pool for the tournament is $1.1 million.
