MLS Cup History

The first championship tournament to award the best team in Major League Soccer was played in heavy rain, remnants of Hurricane Lili, in 1996 at the since-demolished Foxboro Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

In that first game, D.C. United beat the Los Angeles Galaxy, 3-2, in overtime play.

Those two teams are, coincidentally, also the winningest in MLS Cup history.

The LA Galaxy has made the most appearances with nine, winning the MLS Cup five times.

Meanwhile, D.C. United has the highest winning percentage, having won four of the five times they played for the Cup.

Those winning teams are also responsible for the two most used championship venues. Since its beginnings in 1996, seven matches for the MLS Cup have played in the Los Angeles area, home of the LA Galaxy. The next venue with the most matches played is RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., home of D.C. United.

The Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in the championship game is usually given either to the player who scores or sets up the winning goal or the goalkeeper who prevents the other team’s winning goal.
