The 2025 MLS season returned with a vengeance last week and carries a lot of momentum heading into the second matchday of the season.
Inter Miami CF, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC and LAFC advanced in the Concacaf Champions Cup midweek. At the same time, Real Salt Lake saw their competition end early against Costa Rica’s CS Herediano.
With Matchday 2 on the cards, here are the must-watch matches in MLS this weekend.
LAFC vs. New York City FC – Saturday, 10:30 pm ET
LAFC edged past Minnesota United 1-0 on the opening weekend and will take on a plucky NYCFC side that hopes to bounce back after surrendering a second-half stoppage-time tying goal to 10-man Inter Miami.
It’s a clash between two clubs with lofty goals this season and two sides looking to remain undefeated. LA, in particular, looks to keep a strong start after advancing in the Champions Cup, while NYCFC finds themselves seeking a first win.
New signings Mark Delgado and Jeremy Ebobise have been highlights for LAFC in three competitive matches this season. Both have found the back of the net while helping the Black and Gold keep two clean sheets at home in MLS and the Champions Cup.
