Nuova Maglia Calcio

Major League Soccer is in discussions to modify its playoff structure to have as many as 30 games with a World Cup-style format, a league source confirmed to ESPN.
The source cautioned that nothing has been approved, but the playoff format will be a topic for discussion at the league's next board of governors meeting on Nov. 15.
MLS' current playoff format involves seven qualifiers from each conference with a single-elimination format that amounts to a total of 13 games.
The Athletic reported that one possible format would see eight qualifiers from each conference put into groups of four, with the top two teams from each group advancing to a knockout stage.
Discussions on a new format come in the wake of a 10-year, $2.5 billion broadcast rights deal with Apple TV that was signed in June, with the idea of expanding the league's playoff inventory.
MLS has modified its playoff format numerous times over the years. The current format was adopted in 2019 and was designed to reward higher seeds that excelled during the regular season.
