Major League Soccer Shirt Sponsorships

Major League Soccer (MLS USA) will become the first major team sports league in the USA to permit shirt-sponsorships from next season.

Aside from US motor racing series Nascar, no other major American sports league permits prominent advertising on shirts. The MLS deal will allow clubs to sell their own shirt-sponsorship rights and keep a majority of the revenue.

It would mark a significant change for the league, which in the past has conducted most of its business through a pool of sponsorship dollars.
