In their sixth MLS season, LAFC endured a busy, record-setting 53-match campaign across five competitions. Under head coach Steve Cherundolo, the club prioritized international play, advancing to the CONCACAF Champions League Final before falling to Club León. They also finished as runners-up in the Campeones Cup. Despite the heavy schedule, LAFC secured the 3rd seed in the Western Conference. They mounted a strong playoff run but ultimately lost -1 to the Columbus Crew in the MLS Cup Final. Star forward Denis Bouanga enjoyed a historic individual season, scoring 38 goals in all competitions to capture the MLS Golden Boot.
