"MLS Referee Lockout Resolved with New CBA Through January 2031"

The monthlong lockout of MLS referees has ended after the Professional Soccer Referees Association (PSRA) ratified a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) that runs until January 2031. The new CBA provides enhanced pay and benefits for officials and marks the end of a contentious negotiation process that included a lockout and the use of replacement referees. The agreement, approved by a 77.4% vote, also includes retroactive pay for January and part of February, but not for the period of the lockout.
