The 2012 Major League Soccer season is the 100th and current season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States and Canada, the 34th with a national first-division league, and the 17th season of Major League Soccer. The regular season began on March 10 and is slated to run through October, followed by the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs.[2] The season features 19 total clubs (16 in the United States, 3 in Canada).

Changes from 2011
The 2012 MLS season features several significant on- and off-field changes from 2011:[2]
- The Montreal Impact became the 19th MLS franchise, replacing a same-named Montreal club that previously played in the North American Soccer League in 2011 and in the USL First Division before that. The Impact made their on-field debut on March 10 in a 2–0 loss at Vancouver; their home debut, a 1–1 draw with the Chicago Fire on March 17, attracted 58,912 to Olympic Stadium, the all-time record crowd for professional soccer in Montreal.[3] This record was later broken on May 12 when Montreal hosted the Los Angeles Galaxy in front of 60,860.[4]
- The Impact joined MLS as the 10th team in the Eastern Conference; the Western Conference remains at 9 teams.
- Each of the 19 teams plays a 34-game regular season schedule, one that employs a new unbalanced format that gives greater emphasis on in-conference matchups.[5]
- Western Conference clubs will play each conference rival three times, and play once against each Eastern Conference club.
- Eastern Conference clubs will play seven of their conference rivals three times, the remaining two conference rivals twice, and each Western Conference club once.
- The span of the regular season will be the longest in MLS history, beginning with 5 matches on March 10 and ending with 3 matches on October 28.[6]
- A change to the Designated Player Rule regarding international players took effect with the start of the 2012 season. The salary cap charge for international designated players (i.e., players not from the U.S. or Canada) will depend on the players' ages:
- The league gained a new U.S. TV partner in NBC Sports, whose 3-year deal was announced in August 2011 (replacing expired deals with Fox Soccer and Fox Deportes)[8] and began on March 11 with a NBC Sports Network broadcast of the New York Red Bulls/FC Dallas match.[9] As part of the deal, NBC Sports Network will air 38 regular season and 3 playoff matches, while the main NBC network will air 3 regular season and 2 playoff matches (the first time since 2002 that that many MLS games will be broadcast on English-language network television). NBC and NBCSN will also air United States men's national soccer team matches (2 on each network). Previous deals with U.S. partners ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and Galavisión continue in 2012, as do deals with Canadian partners TSN, TSN2, and GolTV.
- The MLS Cup Playoffs setup will undergo several changes, as will the Championship Game, which will be played on its latest date ever, December 1.[6] (see MLS Cup below)

Personnel and sponsorship
Four MLS teams saw changes in jersey sponsorship for the 2012 season:
- Bank of Montreal became the first shirt sponsor for the Montreal Impact.[11]
- The Chicago Fire, who went without a jersey sponsor in 2011, gained one in Quaker Oats Company.[12]
- The Columbus Crew, who also did not have a 2011 jersey sponsor, gained sponsorship from Barbasol.[13]
- Amway Global declined to renew its sponsorship of the San Jose Earthquakes, which has yet to find a replacement.
Note1: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players and managers may hold one or more non-FIFA nationalities.
Note2: All teams use Adidas as kit manufacturer.
Player transfers
Main article: List of Major League Soccer transfers 2012
Major League Soccer employs no fewer than 12 methods to acquire players. These include: signing players on transfers/free transfers as is done in most of the world; via trades; drafting players through mechanisms such as the MLS SuperDraft, MLS Supplemental Draft, or MLS Re-Entry Draft; rarely used methods which cover extreme hardship and injury replacement; signing players as Designated Players or Homegrown Players; placing a discovery claim on players; waivers; and methods peculiar to MLS such as through allocation or a weighted lottery.[14]
Allocation ranking
The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the League after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. The allocation rankings may also be used in the event two or more clubs file a request for the same player on the same day. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2011 season, taking playoff performance into account.
Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking. At all times, each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS League season.[14]
| Original Ranking | Club | Date Allocation Used | Player Signed | Player Nation | Previous Club | Club Nation | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Montreal Impact | February 17, 2012 | Eddie Johnson |  United States |
Fulham |  England |
[15] |
| 2 | Vancouver Whitecaps FC | ||||||
| 3 | New England Revolution | ||||||
| 4 | Toronto FC | ||||||
| 5 | Chivas USA | ||||||
| 6 | San Jose Earthquakes | ||||||
| 7 | D.C. United | ||||||
| 8 | Portland Timbers | ||||||
| 9 | Chicago Fire | ||||||
| 10 | Columbus Crew |
The remaining order after Columbus Crew is: FC Dallas, New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia Union, Colorado Rapids, Seattle Sounders, Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake, Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy. In the unlikely event that all clubs use an allocation, the order begins anew with Montreal Impact.
Weighted lottery
Some players are assigned to MLS teams via a weighted lottery process. A team can only acquire one player per year through a weighted lottery. The players made available through lotteries include: (i) Generation adidas players signed after the MLS SuperDraft; and (ii) Draft eligible players to whom an MLS contract was offered but who failed to sign with the League prior to the SuperDraft.
The team with the worst record over its last 30 regular season games (dating back to previous season if necessary and taking playoff performance into account) will have the greatest probability of winning the lottery. Teams are not required to participate in a lottery. Players are assigned via the lottery system in order to prevent a player from potentially influencing his destination club with a strategic holdout.
The results of 2012 weighted lotteries thus far:

MLS Cup
Main article: 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs
The MLS Cup playoffs will take place after the conclusion of the regular season. For 2012, the playoff structure will undergo several changes:
- The playoffs will no longer feature wild cards and the possibility of "crossovers" (i.e. teams from opposite conferences playing in the early rounds). Instead, the top five clubs in each conference's standings will qualify for the playoffs and will play in the following manner:
- The 4th place team will host the 5th place team in a single "play-in" match, with the winner advancing to the conference semifinals.
- The Conference Semifinals will again be a two-game aggregate goal setup as before (with extra time and penalty kicks employed if the aggregate is level after 180 minutes). The 1st place team will play the winner of the 4th/5th game, while the 2nd and 3rd place teams play each other. The lower-seeded team will host the first leg of each semifinal.
- The semifinal winners will play each other in the Conference Finals, which will be altered to a two-game aggregate series patterned after the semifinal round (before this year, this round was a single-game format).
- The Conference Final winners will advance to the MLS Cup Championship Game, which for the first time will be played at the home stadium of the finalist with the better regular season point total; before this season, the game was played at a predetermined site.
Notes
- ^ The Impact will play 5 home games at Olympic Stadium while Saputo Stadium undergoes expansion; the first scheduled game at Saputo Stadium is set for June 16, 2012.[10]
