On Saturday, December 7th, the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in Dignity Health Sports Park. Goals by attackers Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic guided the Galaxy to its 6th MLS Cup Title in club history. The Galaxy join Inter Miami (Supporters Shield), Columbus Crew (Leagues Cup), and LAFC (US Open Cup) in clubs winning trophies in 2024. With a full season of coverage, the league calendar window is already pivoting to 2025 as a half-day trade window opens on Monday and the league's 30th franchise, San Diego FC, will select five players from opposing MLS Clubs in an expansion draft on Wednesday. With that being said, let's list all of the information we have for the offseason so far. This page will be updated periodically as the offseason continues.
