MLS is Back: Our Top XI of the 2026 Season

Key Players to Factor Into Your Picks

The 2026 MLS season is back with lots of new faces and roster changes. Soccer has been growing in the US, having recently overtaken baseball as the third most-watched professional sport.

When it comes to betting, soccer bets feature several of the same markets we know from other sports, the simple moneyline, spread, over/under, as wel as some soccer-specific match props like both teams to score or double chance.

To round out your parlays, you may be keen on finding some player props that look a little different for soccer. Notably, most sportsbooks will not have a specific 'Player Props' section in their MLS betting markets, but will list the most popular props in the market menu. MLS matches allow you to bet on markets such as shots, assists, corners, cards + fouls, saves, to name a few.

With most players fit and ready to take on the new season, player props offer some good value and can help complete your parlays. Have a look at your preferred sportsbook and enjoy the new MLS season!
