Planet Money · Can World Cup mania grow MLS in the U.S.? · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

Cape Verde scored their first ever World Cup goal in history.

Oh, my goodness.

Becky, is the boat shaking?

Are you near a life preserver?

Oh, my goodness.

There is nothing like that World Cup feeling.

Now, the question is, can Major League Soccer in the U.S.

find a way to bottle that up and hold on to some of that very profitable glow?

Hello and welcome to Planet Money.

I'm Kenny Malone.

And joining us for this episode, she has disembarked the soccer barge.

She has her land legs back.

It is NPR's Becky Sullivan.

Becky has been zigzagging the country, covering the World Cup for NPR.

How many cities have you been to at this point?

Five?

Seven?

Seven.

And along the way, Becky noticed something and got in touch with us at Planet Money.

And so today on the show, Becky has brought us pretty unusual access to this real time experiment as all these MLS teams see if they can find a way to turn World Cup fever into obsession for their own local American soccer teams and Canadian.
