Larry Berg, set to become the next MLS commissioner in 2027, has ruled out the introduction of a promotion and relegation system in the near future.

Berg, who currently co-owns Los Angeles FC, made the comments during his introductory press conference on Tuesday. He emphasized that the concept of "pro/rel" is not "appropriate" for the North American league at this stage. afsport.lat

Replacing Don Garber on January 1, 2027, Berg is expected to oversee the league's continued growth, though fans hoping for a European-style format will have to wait.
