MASL About

The Minnesota Amateur Soccer League (MASL) is Minnesota’s sanctioned competitive men’s soccer league.

Division Alignments

The 1^st Division features Minnesota’s 10 most competitive teams. Each team plays an 18-game regular season schedule which constitutes, a home and an away game against the other 9 teams in the division. At the conclusion of the 18-game regular season, the bottom team is relegated to Division 2. The relegated team is then replaced by the top team from Division 2, for the next season.

The 2^nd Division alignment and schedule is the same as that of the 1^st Division. At the conclusion of the 18-game regular season, the top team is promoted to the 1^st Division and the bottom team is relegated to the 3^rd Division, for the next season.

The 3^rd Division alignment and schedule is the same as that of the 1^st & 2^nd Division. At the conclusion of the 18-game regular season, the top team is promoted to to the 2^nd Division and the 8th, 9th and/or 10th place teams are relegated to the 4^th Division, for the next season.

The 4^th Division alignment and schedule is similar to the other divisions with the only difference being the number of teams playing in 4^th Division. Since all new teams must start in the 4^th Division, the number of teams and alignment can change from year to year. Top team in each bracket will be promoted to the 3^rd Division, for next season.
