Major League Soccer (MLS) named Los Angeles FC co-managing owner Larry Berg as the league’s next commissioner on Monday, saying he will take the helm from Don Garber on January 1, 2027.
Berg will become the third commissioner in the history of the league. Garber, who took over the job from Doug Logan in 1999, will shift to the role of chairman in 2027 to ensure a seamless leadership transition, MLS said in a statement.
“I’m honored to lead Major League Soccer into its next era,” Berg said in a statement issued by the league after owners voted on Monday in New York to give him the job.
