If this @HoundsChicago season doesn’t end with the Shield, then it’s a failure. However, only 1 team has ever lifted the Shield after finishing as the top regular season team (2021 LA Giltinis). Can the Hounds overcome @usmlr’s ‘Curse of First’? #MLR2026 #MLRStats

With a 10-0 record, @HoundsChicago record the 1st perfect season in @usmlr history, but how does it compare to other excellent MLR Seasons? This chart shows the 7 most dominant MLR seasons (by % of available pts), and the Hounds still look fantastic! #MLRStats #MLR2026

Massive MLR weekend ahead. Penultimate round of the season, @CalLegion can not only clinch a playoff spot but a home semifinal (will clinch playoff spot with win, draw, or 2BP loss; clinch 2nd overall with BP win and any Seattle loss); and over in the Coffee Cup on Sunday Night Rugby Seattle can clinch playoff spot with BP win or draw/2BP loss and a DC loss; while DC, Free Jacks, and Anthem all wanting wins to stay in the hunt. And how will @HoundsChicago approach their away match at DC having already secured #1 seed…

Smart business from @Cardiff_Rugby to sign Namibian international and former @usmlr standout player with @NEFreeJacks Le Roux Malan. He’s not just a try scorer. Hits hard and has a left foot. Hard running player…trust me I’ve experienced getting run over by him 👀

.@usmlr can you confirm the final score of last week's @CalLegion v @SeawolvesRugby game? Your site says 38-31 which would give Seattle a losing BP, but both teams have it as 38-29. Looks like Coetzer's 19th min conversion wasn't actually awarded? #MLR2026

The late release of lineups in MLR has always been a problem. The ideal solution? #LineupDay, wherein every MLR team releases their lineup on Thursday. We, the fans, should make this a thing! Use the hashtag, tag the teams, tag @AlexMagleby, tag @usmlr, let's get this in #MLR2026
