"Coach Greg Vanney is fond of reminding fans that the Galaxy 's 2025 season wasn't just a long, dismal fall into a historically deep abyss. It was actually two seasons with wildly different results. In the first, the Galaxy were winless in their first 16 MLS games, the poorest start ever for a reigning MLS champion. That was the "fall into the abyss" part."
"Their seven league wins and 30 points were both the fewest ever in a full season while the 66 goals allowed and minus-20 goal differential were second-worst all-time. But Vanney, who signed a lucrative three-year contract extension 13 games into the Galaxy's winless start, believes the strong finish not only gives the players something to feel good about, it also gives the team something to build upon."
LA Galaxy endured a historically poor start in 2025, going winless in their first 16 MLS games, the worst start for a reigning MLS champion. The team rebounded late, losing only eight of its final 25 matches and going 7-6-5 in league play during that stretch. The combined MLS record was 7-18-9, the fewest wins and 30 points in franchise history, with 66 goals conceded and a minus-20 goal differential. A strong Leagues Cup showing secured qualification for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Coach Greg Vanney, under a three-year extension, expects improvement and identifies needs at striker, midfield and defense.
