So is MLSN the only hold out?

And EA has been silent. Although anecdotally, an EA coach told a friend of ours their player would be with the younger age group in 2026 due to their Q4 birthdate.

If MLSN and EA don't follow suit, they still have their bio-banding option available. I've seen both EA players and MLSN players bio-banded this season. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

If MLSN starts to biobanding Q4 players, then it will be a sign.

We played an MLSN team in a tournament last month who were playing up because they had some bio-banded players. The tournament wouldn’t let them play their age because of that.

Mlsn already biobands q4 players. They can do it for 3 players iirc. Same for mls 2.

Unusual unless it was a young mlsn team. Dues don’t typically cover the costs outside of the non mls sponsored events and older players are reluctant to do non mls tournaments where they could get injured. Some tournaments like surf excepted.
