David Beckham to Join US Soccer Hall of Fame in 2027

David Beckham has been chosen for induction into the United States’ National Soccer Hall of Fame as part of its 2027 class. The 51-year-old former midfielder for Manchester United and England was selected through the veterans’ ballot, with the announcement made during an MLS board of governors’ meeting on November 14, 2026.

Beckham, who joined LA Galaxy in 2007 from Real Madrid on a five-year deal, significantly raised international attention on Major League Soccer. Over six seasons with LA Galaxy, he made 124 appearances, scored 20 goals, and won the MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield twice each.

He also had loan spells with AC Milan in 2009 and 2010. After retiring in 2013, Beckham became a co-owner of Inter Miami, the MLS club that signed Lionel Messi in 2023.

Beckham described his time in the United States as “an incredible journey” and expressed his commitment to developing the league and the sport. The induction ceremony is set for April 16, 2027, in Frisco, Texas.
