Major League Soccer has proposed a return to play plan that would see all 26 teams competing in Orlando and competitive matches resume on July 1 with no spectators, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Steven Goff of the Washington Post reports that in the tentative plan, teams would arrive in Orlando on June 1 and that games would be played throughout the month of July, with at least five per team.

Hearing from folks around MLS that the league is targeting June 1 for teams to arrive in Orlando, July 1 to start competitive matches. Games would be played throughout the month, at least 5 games per club. Situation still very fluid, however.

The games would not be part of the regular season, but instead would be a tournament which would see advancing teams compete in additional games.
All members of each team, from players to support staff, would live under quarantine at one of the resorts near Walt Disney World, while both practices and games would take place at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports.
Sam Stejskal of The Athletic reports that leading up to the resumption of play, players would be allowed to train individually in the first week, in small groups in the second week and eventually train in full squads in the third week.
He also reports that the tournament would run for four to five weeks and that family members would not be allowed to travel with teams to Orlando.
