LA Galaxy, a charter member of Major League Soccer (MLS) founded in 1994 and based in Greater Los Angeles, is the league's most successful franchise, owned by Anschutz Entertainment Group. After initially playing at the Rose Bowl, they moved to Dignity Health Sports Park in 2003, and they maintain fierce rivalries with the San Jose Earthquakes (California Clásico) and LAFC (El Tráfico). The club holds a record six MLS Cup titles, including a 2024 victory with a record 18 playoff goals, plus four Supporters' Shields, two U.S. Open Cups, and a CONCACAF Champions' Cup. In 2007, they made international headlines by signing David Beckham, and have featured stars like Landon Donovan (all-time scorer), Zlatan Ibrahimović, and Robbie Keane. Their early history included reaching the first MLS Cup final in 1996 and winning the CONCACAF Champions' Cup in 2000, but they secured their first MLS Cup in 2002 against the New England Revolution. By 2019, Forbes valued the club at $480 million, making it the second most valuable in MLS.
