Is this some form of Pro/Rel?

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 2025, CLUBS IN THE PROGRAM WILL COMPETE IN REGULAR SEASON GAMES, REGIONAL TOURNAMENTS, AND VARIOUS MLS NEXT NATIONAL EVENTS AS WELL AS COACHING DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS, TALENT IDENTIFICATION, AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES.
THIS EXPANSION WILL PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL PLAYERS AND COACHES, ALLOWING MEMBER CLUBS GREATER ABILITY TO ALIGN TEAM TRAVEL AND SCHEDULING, OPTIMIZE PLAYER POOLS, AND MORE EFFECTIVELY ALLOCATE CLUB RESOURCES.
THE EXPANDED TIER OF MLS NEXT WILL BE MANAGED BY LEADING LEAGUE OPERATORS ACROSS THE YOUTH LANDSCAPE WITH A STRONG COMMITMENT TO PLAYER DEVELOPMENT. THE OPERATORS WILL FOLLOW MANDATED PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS SET BY MLS NEXT TO ENSURE A HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCT.
OPERATORS WILL INCLUDE THE NATIONAL ACADEMY LEAGUE (NAL) OPERATED BY 3STEP SOCCER, ELITE ACADEMY LEAGUE (EAL), SPORTING DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE (SDL), COBALT SPORTS, AND CAL NORTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION.
IN THE EXPANDED TIER OF MLS NEXT, CLUBS WILL PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF EIGHT REGIONAL TOURNAMENTS EACH SEASON IN ADDITION TO THE OPTION FOR ELIGIBLE AGE GROUPS TO ATTEND MLS NEXT FEST IN DECEMBER. THE REGIONAL TOURNAMENTS WILL SERVE AS QUALIFYING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT AT MLS NEXT CUP LATER IN 2026.[/quote]

Its sounds more like a MLSNext-RL.[/quote]
