Major League Rugby (MLR), a North American professional rugby league, is sanctioned by USA Rugby. It is sanctioned and part of World Rugby. MLR will have 12 teams in 2023, as opposed to the seven that were established in 2018. The teams will be playing in Los Angeles and Dallas with the possibility to play another in Canada.
Major League Rugby's conference structure will allow for two conferences. Each conference will host the top three teams from their respective divisions, and conference winners will be matched in finals. A team will play in each conference once in the regular season. A team that wins both the conference finals will be eligible for the playoffs.
The United States rugby union initiated the formation of the league. There were bids from several cities to become the league's initial franchises, including Los Angeles and Vancouver. However, those bids have not materialized as of yet. The league is expected to have three West Coast team in 2021. However, the league could expand to six West Coast teams in 2023.
World Rugby announced that in May the US will host the men's World Cup. The 2032 women's World Cup will be held. This would allow the US men’s Eagles to still qualify for the 2023 World Cup, France.
MLR worked on the Los Angeles, Austin, and Los Angeles franchises. They hope to continue the sport's growth in these areas. There is also an opportunity to form another franchise in the Midwestern United States. While there are no current teams in midwest, MLR has suggested that there could be.
One possible city in the Midwestern United States that has been in the running is Chicago. The previous owner of the city was a PRO Rugby franchise. He is currently in the process of submitting a bid for an MLR license. He has 90 days to complete the terms and conditions of his application, and he must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby accepted his initial application regardless of whether he meets the criteria.
The 2019 franchise buy-in price was $4 million. This amount will pay for the expenses of the league in the first two year. During this time, the teams will be allowed to draft players from the folding teams. Around thirty percent will be imported.
2020 will be the date for the collegiate draft. After three years of college, players can apply to the collegiate draft. The new league will have a single table format for the first two years. In the future, the league may move to a more challenging schedule that includes two or three games against other conferences and a home-and-away match against the other conference.
Major League Rugby will establish a new franchise for Chicago starting in 2023. It will become the league's first Midwestern United States team and open the door to competition in the region. The Bay Area, Las Vegas (and Vancouver) are all possible locations for a future franchise.
