Top 10 Major League Soccer Teams

The Top Ten

  1. LA Galaxy

    It has to be that the Galaxy is the best. They are good all around. They have Keane at striker, who can do lots of things with the ball. Now, we have to say, teams like FC Bayern Munich or Real Madrid are most likely better. But in the MLS, by far, LA Galaxy is the best. That's why I say LA is the best at American MLS soccer.

  2. Seattle Sounders FC

    Seattle Sounders FC is an American professional soccer club based in Seattle, Washington. The team competes in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. Since joining the league in 2009, the Sounders have established themselves as one of the most successful and well-supported teams in the league... read more

    They got Martins, Dempsey, Alonso, Evans, Gonzalez, and they have teamwork. That's what makes them the best.

    Seattle was the most talented team in the league even before signing Clint Dempsey. Dempsey just seals the deal for anyone who may have been unsure. Without Beckham for Galaxy, there is a very good chance Seattle will be champions.

    They are a very good team, and they have an extremely good American soccer player, Clint Dempsey. Martins is an amazing striker, and Dempsey is my favorite soccer player. Seattle is the best because they have the best soccer players in the world.

    Clearly, the Sounders are the most talented, best-run, best-supported, and most exciting franchise in the 20-team top tier of professional soccer in North America. Four US Open Cups and one Supporters' Shield were earned in just the first six MLS seasons for Sounders FC. Based on actual performance, no other team in the US or Canada can compare.

  3. Toronto FC

    Toronto Football Club, commonly referred to as Toronto FC, is a Canadian professional soccer team based in Toronto, Ontario. The team competes in Major League Soccer as a member of the Eastern Conference. Toronto FC plays its home matches at BMO Field, located at Exhibition Place, and won its first MLS... read more

    In the 2017 season, the team created history and broke many records. They were also the first MLS team to win the treble. The most consistent MLS team in recent times.

    Bradley, Sebastian Giovinco, and Altidore are very good at soccer. Giovinco plays for the Italy national soccer team, and Bradley plays for the U.S. national team, the same as Altidore.

    Jermaine Defoe and Bradley are going to bring home the title!

  4. New York Red Bulls

    The New York Red Bulls are an American professional soccer club based in Harrison, New Jersey. They compete in Major League Soccer as a member of the Eastern Conference. The team was founded in October 1994 and began play in the league's inaugural 1996 season as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars before... read more

    The New York Red Bulls have very good players that perform at a level compatible with some teams in Europe. Many MLS teams that do well one season tend to choke the next season, but NY always plays well, and they are always at or near the top of the league table.

    They lost 6-2 to Barcelona in 2008, but the fact that they got two goals on a team like Barca shows how good they are (and Barca scoring six goals shows that they didn't go easy). NY has beaten Chelsea in 2015.

    No one knows what they are talking about on this site. Half of the players mentioned have long since retired. New York is a great team without major stars that other teams such as the Galaxy have. As a NYRB fan, I think they are the best, though I am biased.

  5. Sporting Kansas City

    Sporting Kansas City is a Major League Soccer team based in Kansas City, Kansas. They have won multiple MLS Cup titles throughout their history. The team plays its home matches at Children's Mercy Park and sports the colors Sporting Blue and Dark Indigo.

    People hate on KC for everything, whether it's the Chiefs, Royals, or Sporting. It doesn't matter how good we are. We will never get the recognition we deserve because we aren't a "big market." We are the heart of America, and people just look at us as flyover country.

    Winning the 2013 MLS Cup, Sporting Kansas City managed to place two members of their team onto the World Cup American team (Zusi and Besler). Sporting KC is actively involved with its fans and has come a long way since they were "The Wizards". Should I also mention that Overland Park, Kansas, is the soccer capital of the United States?

  6. Portland Timbers

    The Portland Timbers are an American professional soccer club based in Portland, Oregon. The Timbers compete in Major League Soccer as a member of the league's Western Conference. The team was founded in 2009 and began play as an MLS expansion team in 2011.

    Great teamwork and communication towards one another. Good uniforms and skillful goalkeepers. Diego Valeri is their top goal scorer for the team, and they have very skilled and good attackers. Very funny and nice to each other also. What can you not love about them?

    Amazing fanbase and talent. I personally feel like they're underrated, but not on this list. Great ranking!

    The best fan base, Timbers Army! They have remarkable players like Valeri, Blanco, Asprilla, and much more. They won the 2015 Audi Cup, and they might win in 2018.

  7. Atlanta United FC

    Established in 2014, Atlanta United FC is a Major League Soccer team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The club began competing in the MLS in 2017 and quickly found success by winning the MLS Cup in 2018. Known for its passionate fan base, the team wears red, black, and gold kits and plays its home matches... read more

    Atlanta is clearly the best team to be in the MLS. They went very far in their first season, won their second, and went to the Eastern Conference finals where they sadly lost.

    Won the MLS Cup our second season. The only problem now is that Frank de Boer WILL NOT drop the 3-4-3.

    In 2017 they'll be the best team, or at least better than Orlando City.

  8. New York City FC

    New York City FC is a Major League Soccer (MLS) team based in New York City. The team was founded in 2013 as an expansion franchise and began play in 2015. Known for drawing large crowds, the club's colors are navy blue, white, and orange.

  9. Orlando City SC

    An MLS team based in Orlando, Florida, Orlando City SC was founded in 2013. The team has focused on grassroots development and has a passionate following. Their team colors are purple and gold, and they play their home games at Exploria Stadium.

    Orlando should be top five. It's a great team that has only been in this league for less than ten years. It's probably one of the best expansion teams.

    Besides team success (MLS cups), Orlando has a great fan base, great attendance, the third or fourth largest social media following in MLS, and they acquired one of soccer's legendary stars, Kaka! OCSC deserves a ring for its city.

    Orlando has been doing well with their couple of wins. They could be going to the playoffs, but we don't know.

    Orlando City is awesome because they have the 2007 world player of the year (Kaka). Also, they are beating Kansas City without Kaka.

  10. Real Salt Lake

    Real Salt Lake is an American professional soccer franchise that competes as a member of Major League Soccer's Western Conference. RSL began play in 2005 as an expansion team of the league. The team plays its home games at America First Field in Sandy, Utah.

    When talking about the best "TEAM," Salt Lake is definitely number 1! They have a terrific coach in Jason Kreis, a terrific goalkeeper in Nick Rimando, and great team chemistry.

    Come on, with young talents like Joao Plata and vets like Beckerman, Morales, and Saborio, you have to put them on top. Oh yeah, and Nick Rimando - no biggie. The battle hymns have begun, folks.

    Kyle Beckerman is very good, and he plays for the U.S. national soccer team. They have one of the best goalies in the MLS, Nick Rimando.

  13. Columbus Crew

    Columbus Crew Soccer Club is a professional soccer team based in Columbus, Ohio. The club competes in Major League Soccer as part of the league's Eastern Conference. Founded in 1994 and beginning play in 1996, the Crew was one of the ten charter clubs of MLS and has since become one of its most prominent... read more

  14. D.C. United

  15. FC Dallas

    FC Dallas is an American professional soccer club based in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, Texas. The club competes as a member of Major League Soccer, the top league in the United States and Canada. The franchise began play in 1996 as a charter club of the league.

    FC Dallas finishes in the top every year over the last few years. They have the least goals against so far this season. They've played a couple of games less than every other team and still have the most points in the conference. Only undefeated team so far. What else needs to be said?

  16. Los Angeles FC

  17. CF Montréal

    The Montreal Impact was a Canadian professional soccer team based in Montreal, Quebec. The team competed in Major League Soccer as a member of the Eastern Conference. In 2020, the club was rebranded as Club de Foot Montréal, officially retiring the Impact name.

    Montreal isn't the best team, but it clearly deserves a spot in the top 5. All you haters in the comments get out.

    Winning the league. They have not lost yet and have earned every victory.

    I don't like the team, but I like the logo.

  18. Vancouver Whitecaps FC

    The Vancouver Whitecaps FC is a professional soccer team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The club competes in Major League Soccer (MLS) and was established in 2009. The team's colors are navy blue and white, and it plays a key role in the Canadian soccer landscape.

    Vancouver Whitecaps is a leader in young talent. Alphonso Davies was subbed in at around the 80th minute because Place, a 14-year-old, showed great talent. In 4 to 10 years, I could see Whitecaps being the best team of all time.

    They also have the one and only Great Dane - David Ousted.

    They're a good team, and I rate the footballer Darren Mattocks.

    Their goalie, David Ousted, is awesome!

  19. Philadelphia Union

    The Philadelphia Union is an American professional soccer team based in Chester, Pennsylvania. The Union competes in Major League Soccer as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference. The team was founded in 2008 and began play in 2010.

  20. San Jose Earthquakes

    The San Jose Earthquakes are a Major League Soccer team based in San Jose, California. Founded in 1994, they have won multiple MLS Cups and are considered a staple of professional soccer in the Western United States. The team's primary colors are blue and black.

    They are very collaborative. This year, they have 6 all-star players.

    They have a very good soccer player, Chris Wondolowski. Chris Wondolowski plays for the U.S. national soccer team.

  21. Houston Dynamo FC

    The Houston Dynamo are an American professional soccer team based in Houston, Texas. The franchise competes in Major League Soccer as a member of the Western Conference. From their inception in 2006 until 2011, the Dynamo played home games at Robertson Stadium on the University of Houston campus before... read more

    Won championships in their first two years. They've never had a high-paid superstar player. Always playoff contenders even if they have a bad season. Great coach and awesome players over the years. Forever orange!

  22. New England Revolution

    The New England Revolution is an American professional soccer club based in the Greater Boston area. It competes in Major League Soccer in the Eastern Conference. The team is one of the ten charter clubs of MLS and has played in the league since its inaugural season in 1996.

    WOW! How is this not 1st? How come D.C. United isn't even on this list? They are more successful than L.A.

  23. Colorado Rapids

    The Colorado Rapids are an American professional men's soccer team based in Commerce City, Colorado. They compete in Major League Soccer as a member of the league's Western Conference. The team was one of the ten charter clubs of MLS and won the MLS Cup in 2010.

    Colorado has gotten so much better over the past few years. I need to see this ranked higher.

    Every single time I see a result with Colorado and FC Dallas, I always see Colorado win.

  24. Chicago Fire FC

    A Major League Soccer franchise, the Chicago Fire is based in Chicago, Illinois. They won the MLS Cup in their inaugural season in 1998. The team plays its home matches at Soldier Field and their colors are red and blue.

  25. Minnesota United FC

    Hardy Nordic fans. New stadium soon! Go Loons!

    Minnesota is great, especially now they have Blah Blah on their team.
