2013 MLS season

As originally written by Tony Miller:

Per international standard, home team listed first.

For the first time since 2001, we have a season with no name changes, expansion, contraction or new stadiums.

NBC acquired English Premier League rights on October 28, 2012. On April 16, they announced that Arlo White would be departing their MLS coverage to become the lead EPL commentator. On June 24, John Strong was named his MLS successor; White's final game was June 29 with Strong taking over July 6.
