The MLSPA, which did not provide details of the return-to-play plan, said the new labour deal will run through the 2025 Major League Soccer season.

"We hope our return to the field will allow fans a momentary release and a semblance of normalcy," the MLSPA said in a statement.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber is scheduled to talk to media later on Wednesday.
