MLS lands record player transfers in 2026
The Major League Soccer (MLS) recorded a record-breaking year in player transfer spending in 2026, with clubs spending $370 million, surpassing the previous record of $336 million set in 2025 by $34 million, and more than doubling the expenditure from 2023, which was $172 million. The league attracted 186 players from 51 countries, including over 30 from top European leagues, featuring players from the 2026 World Cup. Player sales also generated record revenues of $218 million, highlighted by notable transfers such as Josh Sargent moving for $22 million, Lucas Herington for $17 million, and Xavi Gozzo for $15 million. The "cash-in-player" strategy continues to influence the market, with clubs increasingly making direct deals without resorting to public funds or budgets.
