Los Angeles FC co-owner Larry Berg has been tapped to be the next commissioner of Major League Soccer. Richard Drew/AP hide caption Major League Soccer owners voted this week to name Los Angeles F.C. co-owner Larry Berg as their next commissioner — the man they hope will lead the league into the future and nearer to long-held ambitions of prominence among American sports fans and global soccer leagues. Berg will officially become the first new MLS commissioner in 27 years on Jan. 1, 2027, after a transition period with outgoing head Don Garber. Next year, the league will shift its long-time season calendar to a summer-to-spring schedule to align with Europe's professional leagues.
