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.With the 2026 MLS season barely past nine matchdays, trader consensus prices Robert Voloder (New York Red Bulls) a slim 49% favorite for Defender of the Year amid extreme parity, as Andrew Privett (Charlotte FC), Yeimar Gómez Andrade (Vancouver Whitecaps), Thiago Martins (NYCFC), and a deep field of center backs cluster at 48% implied probabilities. No defender leads decisively in tackles per 90, interceptions, blocks, clearances, or aerial duels won, reflecting even team goals against and clean sheet contributions from top defenses like Vancouver (9 shutouts) and Seattle. Recent form shows consistent minutes for these anchors on playoff-positioned clubs, keeping the race fluid with minimal differentiation in defensive metrics or table impact.
