On Friday, Major League Soccer published the full list of current General Allocation Money (GAM) available to all clubs as of February 20, 2026.
This snapshot is taken after roster compliance, meaning that the listed totals are what is available after applying GAM to their roster to buy down players to fit under the salary cap.
This list does not include transactions made after the February 20th deadline, meaning that moves like Toronto FC sending $250,000 in 2026 GAM (and up to $725,000 in total) to St. Louis City SC for Josh Sargent's rights are not included.

What does this mean for Nashville SC?
Nashville SC have the 15th-most available GAM in MLS at the moment, with a total of $1,581,229. It's important to remember that this is after GAM has been applied to the roster. In the January update, Nashville had the 23rd-most GAM in MLS, with $3,901,404 before getting their roster compliant.

Nashville added significant spending room with the sale of winger Jonathan Pérez to Chivas for a club-record $3 million. Per MLS rules, 95% of the transfer fee of U22 Initiative Players can be converted to GAM after recouping acquisition costs. Factoring in the LA Galaxy's sell-on percentage (estimated at 20%), this move could have added a maximum of around $855,000 in GAM to their books.
Nashville filled Pérez's U22 Initiative slot with Reed Baker-Whiting, who joined from the Seattle Sounders for up to $1.1 million. That move, though, was a cash transfer, meaning that no GAM was involved and Nashville were able to leave the money from the Pérez sale untouched.
Especially with last season's roster rule changes meaning that GAM no longer expires, Nashville find themselves in good shape with plenty of flexibility left heading into the summer transfer window, which opens on Monday, July 13.
