The 2025 MLS season is working its way through the 34-game regular season schedule, as teams strive to finish top nine in their conference and punch their ticket to the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, with hopes of one day winning MLS Cup.
Now in its 30th season, MLS features 30 teams split into two 15 team conferences. Teams primarily play within their conference, with rare crossover games for each club. At the end of the season, the team atop the regular season standings wins the Supporters' Shield, and gains hosting rights through the MLS Cup Playoffs.
