About this episode
Promotion and relegation is one of the biggest things missing from American soccer, but could that finally be changing?
On this episode, we break down whether promotion/relegation can actually work in the US, why it has become the standard around the world, how USL plans to implement it, and whether MLS would ever seriously consider joining in.
From the financial risks to the possible upside for clubs, players, and fans, we debate if pro/rel would bring more legitimacy and excitement to the American game or create even more instability.
Do you think promotion/relegation would work in the US?
