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. But in the second, the team lost just eight of 25 games in all competition, going 7-6-5 in league play.
Add the two records together and the Galaxy finished 7-18-9 in MLS, the worst season in franchise history.
