History

Major League Soccer was founded in 1993, and the first games were played in 1996 between 10 original teams. The league has faced financial difficulty throughout its existence and has lower television ratings than other major American sports leagues, including Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association. Since 2006, however, the league has grown in popularity, leading to the expansion of the league. Six teams have won the MLS championship: DC United, the San Jose Earthquakes, the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Houston Dynamo, the Chicago Fire and the Kansas City Wizards.
