The 2024 Major League Soccer regular season will soon reach its conclusion after Decision Day on Oct. 19 with teams already planning their next moves for the 2025 campaign.
Postseason-bound teams like LAFC and Seattle Sounders will have a few tough decisions to make regarding veteran players in their squads as they look to retool and improve for 2025. However, San Jose Earthquakes and Chicago Fire might have a little more time to focus on their squads this offseason since they both missed out on the playoffs.
It's worth noting that MLS teams have until Wednesday, Nov. 27 to exercise their option deals on players that have pending options in their contracts. This is typically seen when a player is on the verge of being out of contract but a club will trigger a one-year extension to keep them in the squad. However, should a club choose to not renew a player's contract or trigger an extension, then said players will be eligible for free agency starting on Thursday, Dec. 12.
