The US Soccer Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is a critical document that outlines the terms and conditions of employment for professional soccer players in the United States. The agreement is reached every four years between the players` union (the Major League Soccer Players Association) and the US Soccer Federation.

The most recent CBA was ratified in February 2020 and was set to expire in January 2024. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent suspension of the MLS season, the CBA was renegotiated in June 2020, extending the agreement through 2025.

Some of the key provisions of the CBA include player compensation, working conditions, and benefits. Under the agreement, players receive a minimum salary of $81,375 for the 2020 season, with increases in subsequent years. The salary cap for each team is $4.9 million, with designated players (such as international stars) allowed to earn above that amount.

The CBA also provides for improved travel conditions, including chartered flights for players and their families. Additionally, the agreement includes provisions for player health and safety, including increased access to mental health resources.

One of the most significant changes in the 2020 CBA is the creation of a revenue-sharing agreement between the league and the players. Under the new agreement, the players will receive a share of the league`s media revenue, which is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

The US Soccer Collective Bargaining Agreement is a critical document that ensures fair working conditions and compensation for professional soccer players in the United States. The most recent agreement includes significant improvements in player benefits and revenue-sharing, demonstrating the growing power of the players` union in the US soccer landscape.
