Don Garber wants MLS to be bigger than a Taylor Swift concert | U.S. Soccer Podcast

This week we’re joined by a very special guest: Don Garber, Commissioner of Major League Soccer, which is celebrating its 30th season in 2025. Talking to David Gass and Alejandro Bedoya, the commissioner engages in a wide-ranging conversation that covers a variety of topics important to American soccer today: the growth of MLS (2:00), what he hopes the league looks like in the future (13:15), recent high-profile signings of Thomas Müller and Son Heung-Min (15:10), the global nature of competitive tournaments like Leagues Cup (23:30) and the Apple TV deal (27:10). Then, the commissioner shares some of his favorite things outside of soccer, including what music he can’t stop listening to and a book recommendation every soccer fan will enjoy (40:00).

It all leads to a great conversation about America’s top-flight professional soccer league.
