MLS soccer sports teams based here.
Major League Soccer, the top division of American soccer. Three of the 30 clubs are Canadian, so 27 appear. Several share a ground with an NFL or college club, so a county can hold both. Placed by the county its venue is in, not the one in its name, so a club often counts in a neighbouring county to the city it is named for. A zero means no club in the leagues listed here, not no sport: lower soccer divisions are not counted.
