LA Galaxy History

The LA Galaxy have been playing for as long as Major League Soccer has existed in the U.S. They were one of the charter members of the league upon its creation in 1996, and in that first season, they held the best record in the Western Conference. They topped the Western Conference twice more before they clinched their first MLS Cup, beating the New England Revolution in 2002. History would repeat itself in 2005, when they emerged victorious over the Revolution to win the MLS Cup again.

From 2007 to 2012, an unexpected injection of star power took the Galaxy to a new place. British football legend David Beckham joined the Galaxy, and in short order there were more eyes on the team than ever before, and more MLS Cup victories in the 2011 and 2012. 

Even after Beckham's departure, the Galaxy continued to shine. When they won the Cup over the Revolution again in 2014, they became the first team in the league to nab the championship five times. International stars continued to flock to LA afterward, including Britain's Steven Gerrard, Mexico's Giovani dos Santos andSweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Among the Galaxy’s alumni are three MLS MVP winners: Carlos Ruíz (2002), Landon Donovan (2009) and Robbie Keane (2014). In 2015, the award was renamed the Landon Donovan MVP Award to honor the decorated All-Star midfielder’s career. Donovan also earned the Golden Boot as the league’s leading scorer in 2008.

In 2023, the Galaxy helped set the MLS single match attendance record at 82,110 in an annual "El Tráfico" rivalry match against Los Angeles FC at the Rose Bowl on July 4.

In 2024, the LA Galaxy won their league-record sixth MLS Cup following a victory over the New York Red Bulls.

LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park

The LA Galaxy played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California between 1996 and 2002 but moved to their permanent home pitch at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson ahead of the 2003 MLS season. Located on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills, Dignity Health Sports Park is the second largest soccer stadium in the U.S. and has previously hosted the MLS’s Chivas USA, the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers and the XFL’s Los Angeles Wildcats. 

With a capacity of 27,000, the stadium environment always remains lively, especially with the backing of the LA Galaxy supporters clubs.
