The '''2009 [[Major League Soccer]] season''' is expected to be the 14th season in league history. The season is expected to begin in March and is expected to end with [[MLS Cup 2009]], in November.


The '''2009 Major League Soccer season''' was the 14th season of [[Major League Soccer]]. It was also the 97th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the [[United States]], and the 31st with a national first-division league.
==Changes from the [[2008 Major League Soccer season|2008 season]]==


The [[Seattle Sounders FC]] debuted as the league's 15th club and were the second team in history to qualify for the [[MLS Cup Playoffs]] in their inaugural season. The club set a league record for [[Major League Soccer attendance|attendance]] and averaged 30,943 per regular season match at [[Qwest Field]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Romero |first=José Miguel |date=January 27, 2010 |title=Keeping Sounders FC together is key to long-range success |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/sounders/keeping-sounders-fc-together-is-key-to-long-range-success/ |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |accessdate=June 14, 2023}}</ref>
* [[Seattle Sounders FC]] will join the league as its 15th club. It is expected that they will play in the [[Western Conference (MLS)|Western Conference]].
* [[Microsoft|Xbox 360 Live]] will become the shirt sponsor of [[Seattle Sounders FC]].


After three seasons, the [[MLS Reserve League]] was discontinued. As a result, each team's Developmental Roster spots were reduced from 10 to four, and each team's Senior Roster spots were increased from 18 to 20. This had the effect of reducing each team's total roster from 28 to 24 players.
==Competition format==


The regular season began on March 19, and concluded on October 25. The 2009 MLS Cup Playoffs began on October 29, and concluded with [[MLS Cup 2009]] on November 22. [[Real Salt Lake]] won their first [[MLS Cup]] by defeating the [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] in a [[penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]].
The format for the 2009 season is expected to be as follows:
*The season is expected to run from March to November.
*The 15 teams are expected to be split into two conferences, eight in the West, seven in the East. Each team is expected to play 30 games that are evenly divided between home and away games. Each team will play every other team twice, home and away, for a total of 28 games. The remaining 2 games will be played against two separate regional rivals, one at home and one away.
*The three teams from each conference with the most points are expected to qualify for the playoffs. In addition, the next two highest point totals, regardless of conference, will also qualify. In the first round aggregate goals over two matches determine the winners. The conference finals will be played as a single match, and the winners will advance to [[MLS Cup 2009]]. In all rounds, draws will be broken with two 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The [[away goals rule]] is not used in any round.
*The three teams from each conference with the most points will also qualify for berths into the Third Round of the [[2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|2010 U.S. Open Cup]]. The rest of the U.S.-based MLS teams will have to qualify for the remaining two berths into the Third Round via a series of play-in games.
*The four teams with the most points in the regular season, regardless of conference, are expected to qualify for [[North American SuperLiga 2010|SuperLiga]].
*Finally, the team with the most points in the regular season wins the [[MLS Supporters' Shield]] and is expected to qualify for the [[CONCACAF Champions League 2010–11]] [[CONCACAF Champions League 2010–11 Group Stage|Group Stage]]. The MLS Cup Champion also qualifies for the Champions League 2010–11 Group Stage. The MLS Cup runner-up is expected to qualify for the Champions League 2010–11 [[CONCACAF Champions League 2010–11 Preliminary Round|Preliminary Round]]. An additional berth in the Champions League 2010–11 Preliminary Round is expected to be awarded to the winner of the [[2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|2009 U.S. Open Cup]]. If a team qualifies for multiple berths into the Champions League, then the final berths are expected to be awarded to the highest overall finishing MLS team(s) not already qualified. Also, [[Toronto FC]], as a Canadian based team, cannot qualify through MLS for the Champions League, and must instead qualify through the [[Canadian Championship]].

==Overview==


===Season format===
# Head-to-Head (Points-per-match average)
The season began on March 19 and concluded with [[MLS Cup 2009|MLS Cup]] on November 22. The 15 teams were split into two conferences with 7 playing in the Eastern Conference and 8 playing in the Western Conference. Each team played 30 games that were evenly divided between home and away. Each team played every other team twice, home and away, for a total of 28 games. The remaining two games were played against four regional rivals, one at home and one away.

# Coin toss


The top two teams from each conference automatically qualified for the [[MLS Cup Playoffs]]. In addition, the four highest remaining point totals, regardless of conference, also qualified. In the first round, aggregate goals over two matches determined the winners. The conference finals were played as a single match, and the winners advanced to [[MLS Cup 2009|MLS Cup]]. In all rounds, draws were broken with two 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The [[away goals rule]] was not used in any round.


The team with the most points in the regular season was awarded the [[MLS Supporters' Shield]] and qualified for the [[CONCACAF Champions League 2010–11|CONCACAF Champions League]]. Additionally, the winner of [[MLS Cup]], and the runner-up, also qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League. An additional berth in the Champions League was also awarded to the winner of the [[2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|U.S. Open Cup]]. If a team qualified for multiple berths into the Champions League, then additional berths were awarded to the highest overall finishing MLS team(s) not already qualified. Also, [[Toronto FC]], as a Canadian-based team, could not qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League through MLS, and had to instead qualify through the [[Canadian Championship]].
NOTE: If more than two clubs are tied, once a club advances through any step, the process reverts to Tiebreaker 1 among the remaining tied clubs.


Automatic qualification for the [[2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|U.S. Open Cup]] was awarded to the top six overall finishers. The rest of the U.S.-based MLS teams had to qualify for the remaining two berths via a series of play-in games.

Qualification for the [[2010 North American SuperLiga|SuperLiga]] was awarded to the top four overall finishers not already qualified for the [[CONCACAF Champions League]].

Wikinews has news related to:

The 2009 Major League Soccer season was the 14th season of Major League Soccer. It was also the 97th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States, and the 31st with a national first-division league.

The Seattle Sounders FC debuted as the league's 15th club and were the second team in history to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs in their inaugural season. The club set a league record for attendance and averaged 30,943 per regular season match at Qwest Field.[3]

After three seasons, the MLS Reserve League was discontinued. As a result, each team's Developmental Roster spots were reduced from 10 to four, and each team's Senior Roster spots were increased from 18 to 20. This had the effect of reducing each team's total roster from 28 to 24 players.

The regular season began on March 19, and concluded on October 25. The 2009 MLS Cup Playoffs began on October 29, and concluded with MLS Cup 2009 on November 22. Real Salt Lake won their first MLS Cup by defeating the Los Angeles Galaxy in a penalty shootout.

Overview

[edit]

Season format

[edit]

The season began on March 19 and concluded with MLS Cup on November 22. The 15 teams were split into two conferences with 7 playing in the Eastern Conference and 8 playing in the Western Conference. Each team played 30 games that were evenly divided between home and away. Each team played every other team twice, home and away, for a total of 28 games. The remaining two games were played against four regional rivals, one at home and one away.

The top two teams from each conference automatically qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs. In addition, the four highest remaining point totals, regardless of conference, also qualified. In the first round, aggregate goals over two matches determined the winners. The conference finals were played as a single match, and the winners advanced to MLS Cup. In all rounds, draws were broken with two 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The away goals rule was not used in any round.

The team with the most points in the regular season was awarded the MLS Supporters' Shield and qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League. Additionally, the winner of MLS Cup, and the runner-up, also qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League. An additional berth in the Champions League was also awarded to the winner of the U.S. Open Cup. If a team qualified for multiple berths into the Champions League, then additional berths were awarded to the highest overall finishing MLS team(s) not already qualified. Also, Toronto FC, as a Canadian-based team, could not qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League through MLS, and had to instead qualify through the Canadian Championship.

Automatic qualification for the U.S. Open Cup was awarded to the top six overall finishers. The rest of the U.S.-based MLS teams had to qualify for the remaining two berths via a series of play-in games.

Qualification for the SuperLiga was awarded to the top four overall finishers not already qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League.
