Tomorrow marks the start of the annual MLS NEXT Flex, a five-day competition that will be held at Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Md., and will wrap up on Tuesday.
MLS NEXT Flex is a qualifying competition for the 2024 MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs, which will be held next month. The U-15, U-16, U-17 and U-19 age groups will each have 64 teams battling to clinch a position in the postseason with their performance.
The top seed in each group of four teams will punch their ticket to the season-culminating MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs. Participants in the event qualified and were seeded based on their performance in league matches from September 2023 to March 2024.
