Based on the UEFA coefficient, which is used to determine how many CL and EL spots each league gets, they've ranked 16,
13, 13, 9, and 29th in the last five years. Been down now for a while.

So where does MLS rank compared to other pro leagues worldwide?

So it's the WCC of professional soccer?

Not from a parity perspective.

Far behind the big 4 in Europe. Slightly behind the 2nd tier in Europe as well

Define second tier. I'd say MLS is better than Allsvenskan, SPL, and the Jupiler League.
RSL
5/10/18 10:12am
I'd say 2nd tier would be the French, Portuguese and Dutch leagues
Dynasty1
5/10/18 10:13am
That's fair.

Dutch league is terrible. Not even a top 10 league in Europe. 2nd tier is only France, Portugal, Russia.

AJAX is one of the most successful clubs in the world. PSV and Feyenoord have

I agree with scootsy, though, that it's been down for a while now.

I don't know what's been wrong with Dutch soccer in general.

Twente is rated below Real Salt Lake!

Is it as good as the Scottish League?
Archaea
5/10/18 7:04pm
Yes. Celtic is probably better than any MLS team, but everyone else is way below MLS.
RSL
5/10/18 7:05pm
Sounds about right. And the Swedish League? It's not very big
Archaea
5/10/18 7:08pm
So top tier is Bundasliga, English Premiere League, Spanish and Italian leagues?
Windward_Coug
5/10/18 10:27am
Yes, except the Bundesliga generally isn't the best. They fluctuate but La Liga
Dynasty1
5/10/18 10:28am
Really, it usually has three good teams and the next three being okay.
Archaea

Spanish League is best, France is in the top 5 as well.

Spanish league isn’t the best. EPL is.
Jezza

Depends on how you define "the best". Premier League *might* have better teams

5/10/18 11:16am
The overall quality in the EPL is far superior. Barca and Real Madrid have rule
Archaea
5/10/18 7:07pm
Perhaps. But the minnows from La Liga have had an edge on their EPL counterparts

Let's compare the 10-20 in those leagues:

I don’t think “far superior” means what you think it means. Literal LOL.

And how does the MLS compare to the second level of the top 5 domestic leagues?

Quality of play. But there are business and infrastructure considerations too.
JmThms
5/10/18 12:44pm
Around 12th I think.

538 currently has the best MLS team at 227th worldwide.
Filiberto
5/10/18 10:27am
Figure ~20-22 teams per league puts MLS in the 10-12th best league
SpiffCoug
5/10/18 10:49am
I would speculate it's probably the 15th through 20th best league.
Archaea

Just above Jr College
