🌍 The football world is changing its calendar. Is your club ready?

Two major announcements are reshaping the global football landscape — and the window for summer training camps is about to get a lot more crowded.

MLS has confirmed a move to a summer-to-spring calendar from 2027, aligning with European competition structures. For the first time, North American clubs will need to run European-style pre-seasons — with early summer preparation camps a core part of that cycle.

J.League is following suit. Japan’s top professional league is transitioning to the same summer-to-spring format, abandoning its traditional February–November schedule. The summer-to-spring model is no longer just a European standard — it’s fast becoming the worldwide standard.

What does this mean in practice?

✅ More clubs from more continents competing for the same summer camp windows
✅ Stronger demand for high-quality facilities paired with premium accommodation
✅ A growing need for efficient, direct camp planning — without agency delays or markups
