- Adidas Archive Third Kits: Adidas will release 'Archive' third kits for select MLS teams, starting with a few teams in 2024, expanding to 10 in 2025, and then to eight more teams in 2026.
- 2026 Teams: The eight MLS teams that will receive an Archive third kit in 2026 are Austin FC, Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamo, Montreal CF, Orlando City, Philadelphia Union, Real Salt Lake, and Vancouver.
- Kit Designs: The designs for the 2026 Archive third kits will vary, with some drawing from the team's history and others being newly invented classics, set to launch in Summer 2026.
Update: Adidas released a new magazine showcasing the Adidas 2025 Archive third kit collection. The magazine also confirms that third kits are coming for eight more MLS teams in 2026 - and while Adidas wants you to guess the teams, Footy Headlines already has the final list.

Adidas started supplying a third kit to MLS teams in 2024, but only for a few select teams. 5 in 2024, 10 in 2025 (two more were planned by scrapped), and 8 in 2026.
The 8 teams to get an Archive third kit in 2026 are: Austin FC, Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamo, Montreal CF, Orlando City, Philadelphia Union, Real Salt Lake & Vancouver.
Some of the MLS teams to get an Archive have a long history (e.g., the Vancouver Whitecaps), while others (e.g., Austin FC) were just founded a few years ago. Therefore, we expect some of the Adidas 2026 MLS third kits to go directly back to the archive, while others should be invented classics.
