Larry Berg, LAFC co-owner, is MLS's new commissioner as Garber phase ends, bringing pro soccer leadership from a club with strong U.S. growth.
Larry Berg has been named Major League Soccer’s next commissioner, replacing Don Garber as the league transitions into a new era. Berg will divest his LAFC stake and take the helm in 2027, with Garber remaining as chairman through the end of the 2026 season. The announcement aligns with MLS’s broader growth strategy following the 2026 World Cup and a calendar realignment.
