Our coach told us that the MLS New Tier league will not launch in 2025.

Teams will be branded as "MLS NEXT New Tier" but will play in existing leagues for the upcoming season - NAL/NPL etc.


This isn’t really true. Our U13 MLS next 2 team is going to be playing in this specific league.


This fall, they will be playing in a u13 "mls next 2" league?

Why is there always so much hate and criticism on this forum? I see a lot of ECNL/RL boosters and I suspect this is coming from some parents in that league who feel insecure. There are great teams and players in all leagues. Perhaps there’s less consistency in level and depth of talent but it’s ridiculous to focus solely on league letters. He plays USYS NL (EDP1) and there’s some good competition. In tournaments, his team beats ECNL-RL teams routinely so he has no interest in playing RL over staying put (he didn’t like the only local ECNL option). They will now be MLSNext 2. He knows it’s not the same as MLSNext so we aren’t being swindled. He’s playing MLSNext 2 to stay with his awesome teammates and coaches.

My kid is going to play MLSNext team 2 and he is thrilled. The meanest bully at his current club is leaving to play NAL elsewhere and has been teasing and ribbing my kid about his future plans and my kid came to the realization that at his new club NAL is the third team so he won’t be playing against this nasty bully and basically has him in check. MLSnext 2 is a great option for kids who have outgrown EDP or their current club and only had B team options elsewhere like us.
If your kid didn’t make it or you don’t want to travel that’s fine. But quit throwing a public tantrum!!


It's far easier to tear down than build up.

Agreed


MLS Next II account the clubs that are in it. Each club has different level of teams. So Coppermine probably already has a team in MLS Next and this is their next lower team in MLS Next II.
Coppermine was in ECRL not MLSN. So just a lateral move, ECRL to MLS2. Probably made the move because ECRL North Atlantic and Northeast South have weird overlaps so forces too much unnecessary travel for a regional league. They weren't even in the same ECRL league as Celtic and Pipeline.


ECNL to MLSN2 is lateral
Pay attention.


Yes, and ECNL for boys is just not the place to be. Any MLSN team is a better option, same applies to MLNSII.


It’s called MLSNext. Please keep the 4 letter acronym for the dumpster fire ECNL.
Too late, that ship has sailed, you are pissin in the wind.

So MLSN2 or MLSNII? And is Liverpool in MLSN3 or MLSN III?


What's kinda funny is that MLSN has not even released what they are calling their new league. The clubs that got it don't even know lol! That's why you see a bunch of clubs that only have MLSN2 advertising that they are having tryouts for "MLSNext!". Such a bizarre and half-assed way to release something. It makes me think they weren't quite ready and just released this to get it out prior to tryouts.


Say it with me. It’s MLSNext.
