===Real Salt Lake===
On July 16, 2007, Beckerman was traded to [[Real Salt Lake]] for [[Mehdi Ballouchy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=6389810&itype=NGPSID&keyword=&qtype=|title=RSL: Trades Ballouchy to Colorado for Beckerman|work=The Salt Lake Tribune}}</ref> Despite joining the team mid-season, he quickly established himself as a team leader for RSL. He took over the captain's armband early in the 2008 season. He started all 38 matches for Salt Lake that year, helping the team reach the Western Conference Final (the club's first-ever playoff appearance). Also in 2008, he was named to the MLS All-Star Inactive List for the second consecutive season.

Beckerman continued as RSL's team captain throughout the 2009 season. During the year, he became the youngest player in MLS history to appear in 200 games. At mid-season, MLS Commissioner [[Don Garber]] added Beckerman and teammate [[Javier Morales]] to the roster for the 2009 [[MLS All-Star Game]] played July 29 at RSL's [[Rio Tinto Stadium]] in [[Sandy, Utah]]. RSL struggled through an up-and-down regular season, finishing with a losing record (11–12–7) and barely qualifying for postseason play. But with Beckerman leading the way, the team completed a stunning sweep through the playoffs, capped with a shootout victory over [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] in the 2009 [[MLS Cup]] championship.[[File:Kyle Beckerman MLS AllStar 2013.jpg|thumb|150px|Kyle Beckerman, Real Salt Lake Midfielder, warming up at the MLS All Star game at Sporting Park, Kansas City, Kansas on July 31, 2013.]]
