Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 30 teams across Major League Soccer
Matchday 6 of the MLS was one for the books.
Goals galore, there was no shortage of attacking talent from across the league – while a major flaw for some teams was put on display: defending.
Reigning champions LA Galaxy are winless through six matches to begin the campaign, while their crosstown compatriots in LAFC put forth a disastrous showing against their Southern California rivals, San Diego FC.
Elsewhere, Atlanta United and NYCFC played out a seven-goal thriller, while just three matches played out to a draw across the weekend, with Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps being the lone scoreless affair. In Southern Florida, Lionel Messi returned from injury for Inter Miami, leading the to a thrilling victory over the Philadelphia Union in a battle between the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the East heading into the weekend.
In the West, the Colorado Rapids, MNUFC, and the Portland Timbers pulled off impressive victories, too, as contention for the top spots in the conference heats up.
So, who's leading the pack, and who's falling short of expectations? GOAL presents the latest 2025 MLS Power Rankings.

It's hard to imagine things get worse from where they are right now with Sporting. The lone takeaway, take it how you will, is that they're hopefully entering a new era following the removal of Peter Vermes as head coach Monday morning.

Another shocking performance from Houston, with Portland hammering them 3-1. Things just are not going Ben Olsen's way.
28CF Montreal ⬆️
A point against an in-form Fire side can be seen as a good result for Montreal. As their permanent head coach search gets underway, they'll look to find a sense of identity on the pitch, with their Matchday 6 result potentially serving as a wave of inspiration.
27Toronto FC ⬆️
A scoreless draw against Vancouver is a good point for Toronto, however, it does not change the fact that they have been dreadful to start 2025.
