""I think we're coming out of a year when we were incomplete," Olsen said. "Where we were last year to the team we have right now, there is definitely a massive difference. That is in terms of personality, experience and talent, particularly at the offensive end, which is very exciting. We've had some pretty good teams since I have been here. But what I like at this moment is that we are a competitive group. There has been a lot of time, effort and money in the offseason to get this team back where they want to be.""

Houston Dynamo finished 12th in the Western Conference in 2025 with nine wins from 34 matches, missing the postseason for the first time since 2022. The roster has been reinforced with Mateusz Bogusz and Brazilians Guilherme, Felipe Andrade, and Lucas Halter. Significant offseason investment targeted personality, experience and offensive talent to create a more competitive group. A strong preseason concluded ahead of a season opener at Shell Energy Stadium against Chicago Fire. Chicago ended a long playoff drought in 2025, reached an Eastern Conference postseason win, and begins a second season under Gregg Berhalter.
