On Friday, September 13, MLS rosters will freeze and remain frozen for 86 days until Sunday, December 8th, the day after MLS Cup. There will be an hours-only thaw to allow preparation for end of season roster moves. Then rosters will refreeze until the assumed expansion draft, the re-entry draft two-step, waivers, free agency, and end-of-year roster decision announcements all lead into next year’s winter transfer window and the thaw for 2025.
