The biggest Major League Soccer ever starts on Saturday, with 30 teams competing for the first time as the league enters its 30th season.
There is a new team, with new Britons in the league too – and of course there is Lionel Messi.
BBC Sport looks at some of the talking points before the 2025 season begins.
Can Mascherano get old Barca colleagues over the line?
Between 2014 and 2018, Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba all played together for Barcelona.
Now they are all working together at Inter Miami.
This will be a second full season at the club for Messi, one of football’s all-time greats, who joined midway through the 2023 season.
He is the club’s ‘all-time’ top scorer with 34 goals – although they only started playing matches in 2020.
Mascherano, who last managed Argentina’s Olympics team, took charge in the off-season, replacing Gerardo Martino – who was Barca boss in 2013-14.
Last season, Suarez scored 25 goals and Messi, who had an injury-hit campaign and only played 25 times, netted 23.
The club were controversially allowed into this summer’s Club World Cup after topping the MLS league at the end of the regular season.
But the MLS champions are actually the team who win the post-season play-offs – with Miami going out in the first round.
Can Mascherano help their stars win their first MLS title? They will have to juggle that with the Concacaf Champions Cup, Fifa Club World Cup and Leagues Cup.

Philadelphia Union forward Cavan Sullivan, 15, has already played three MLS games – and is reportedly set to join Manchester City in a few years.
He made his debut last season at the age of just 14 – and signed the largest deal for a homegrown player in MLS history.
“I think the collaboration between the Union and the City Group did it for me,” he told ESPN last year.
“I always watch Man City. They’re like every kid’s dream team. For [Philadelphia and City] to come together and agree on something – I sat with my family and my agents and we decided that it was the best plan.”
The deal has never been formally announced by either team.
A USA Under-17 international, Sullivan is also eligible for Germany.
His German dual nationality means he would be able to join a European Union team at the age of 16 – so…
