Winter is Coming: What the new MLS calendar means for Nashville SC Chris Ivey breaks down the implications of Major League Soccer's calendar shift

Shifting the schedule has a lot of smaller knock on effects for these....let's call them...mid-temperature markets.

I took a look at how the fall-spring format may affect Nashville SC, but it applies to other similar mid-temperature markets as well.

With the MLS schedule shifting to the Fall-Spring format, I pulled the avg daily temperatures for each MLS club in Dec. and Feb. ☀️🥶

Not all Nov/Dec/Feb matches will be able to be hosted in CA, FL, or TX.

Those clubs in the middle will need to host occasionally as well.

Seriously!! They were always such a weird fit for American soccer culture given we are usually sweating from every pore.

Winter is Coming: What the new MLS calendar means for Nashville SC Chris Ivey breaks down the implications of Major League Soccer's calendar shift

Winter is coming. Literally. 🥶⚽️

The MLS calendar flip trades mid-season summer sweat for pitch-side parkas at GEODIS Park.

How will the schedule flip affect Nashville SC?

The change will touch everything from matchday operations to non-soccer revenue. 🎸

Also of note, Mukhtar tied his teammate, Teal Bunbury, for 35th all time in career MLS goals.

As long as Hany stays in MLS and remains healthy, he will almost assuredly finish in the Top 10 on the all-time goal scoring list.

Instant reaction (late for Bsky, sorry!)

Nashville SC sweep the Philadelphia Union with a 1-0 win at home.

#EveryoneN

Finally recovered from last night.

Easily the best atmosphere since the Leagues Cup final.

This team and this coach are building something special. Truly elite mentality on display last night to snatch all 3 points with their backs against the wall in sweltering conditions.

I think Hany is there, but probably needs one piece of silverware to cement it. Especially since it would be the first title in TN professional sports history.

Analysis: Nashville SC among MLS’s smartest spenders, per 2025 salary data Nashville SC's 2025 roster build shows significant investment in quality and flexibility

Forget just spending big, Nashville SC is spending smart.

After turning over the roster, NSC is littered with tremendous value contracts. I've analyzed the MLSPA salary numbers to illustrate where performance is crushing the price tag.

Analysis: How Mike Jacobs and BJ Callaghan turned Nashville SC 2.0 into a reality Chris Ivey breaks down the numbers behind Nashville SC's electric first half of 2025

✍️ New from me @sixonefivesoccer.com

“The “Nashville 2.0” line may have sounded like a cheesy moniker in January, but it has proved positively prophetic as we enter June."

Callaghan & Jacobs flipped NSC upside down and emerged as an early MLS success.

Where was this contract textualist argument when the league didn’t have a force majeure clause that covered the pandemic in 2020 and ownership threatened a lockout??

MLSPA negotiated in good faith then in the face of a highly improbable event.

Time for ownership to do the same.

The NBA and WNBA are now actively posting on Bluesky and I can't emphasize enough how important it is that we do everything possible to support these accounts, because how many followers they acquire and how much positive engagement they get will 100%, unequivocally determine how committed they are to this place AND how likely it is that other leagues & sports personalities could then come here too. These accounts aren't just big accounts, they're bridges to entire communities and the ripple effect of them succeeding here would be MASSIVE. If you want to stick a stake through Twitter's heart, this is how you do it - but remember, the NBA and WNBA don't *have* to be here and it's not a foregone conclusion this isn't anything more than a trial run. So yes, don't just follow these accounts: help promote them and positively interact w them too. Let's show them this place is worth investing in.
