According to ESPN's Taylor Twellman, MLS commissioner Don Garber says the MLS season suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic will alter how future games will be played. "From tournament formats and neutral locations, ultimately playing an abridged regular season, but doing everything to get as many games," Garber said. On March 12, the MLS suspended season play indefinitely until at least May 10. Whether or not league play will resume on that date remains to be seen. The league has not approached the union about players taking pay cuts according to ESPN's Jeff Carlisle. The NBA, MLB, MLS and NHL have yet to set a return date for their respected leagues.
