An era full of

OPPORTUNITIES.

Launched in 2020, MLS NEXT is the most elite platform for player development in North America. Previously unveiled in January, the new tier will feature more than 1,200 teams from more than 220 clubs across regional divisions during the regular season. Regular season play will be accompanied by regional tournaments and an opportunity to attend MLS NEXT national events. The regional tournaments will serve as qualifying for a championship event at the MLS NEXT Cup playoffs later in 2026. These events will be marquee talent identification opportunities for college, professional, and national team scouts to evaluate players.

Players within the Rhode Island Surf MLS NEXT program will be on the field 4-5 days per week in the Fall and Spring between sessions and games, with the winter months consisting of 3 sessions per week minimum. The preliminary league schedule will have these groups play 14 regular season fixtures (yet to be confirmed), promising more matches against top programs in the region than ever before.
