# MLS: 2026 Defender of the Year

Live · $908,366 traded · listed on Polymarket

## About

This market will resolve to the player who wins the 2026 MLS Defender of the Year award.

In the event of a tie, this market will resolve according to the official winner as determined by MLS rules. If multiple winners are announced then this market will resolve to the player whose listed last name comes first alphabetically.

If the 2026 MLS season is cancelled, postponed after December 31, 2026 ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”.

The resolution source for this market will be official information from Major League Soccer; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
