Major League Soccer and adidas have introduced the 2026 MLS Pro Ball as the official match ball for all MLS fixtures across the 2026 season.
The adidas match ball features a white base combined with flowing red, blue, and silver graphic elements that wrap across the surface. These curved bands integrate fine linear detailing and printed coordinate markings, referencing the geographic locations of all 30 MLS stadiums. Additional graphic elements include subtle MLS shield motifs, stars, and league related symbols, creating a unified visual language representing both the United States and Canada.
Official MLS branding is applied alongside adidas logos, with the MLS Pro designation and commissioner signature marking its match use status. A seamless, thermally bonded construction is used, reducing panel seams and supporting consistent touch and ball flight. The textured outer surface is engineered to assist grip and stability in varied match conditions.
Internally, the ball incorporates a CTR Core and a high grade butyl bladder, designed to maintain shape retention and air pressure throughout play. The 2026 Major League Soccer Pro Ball carries FIFA Quality Pro certification, having met testing standards for weight, rebound, water uptake, and durability. The ball will be used throughout the 2026 MLS campaign as the league prepares for a landmark year in North American football.
