The 2024 Major League Soccer season is in full swing, with clubs across the United States jockeying for position and hoping to secure a spot in the postseason, which gives them a chance to push for the MLS Cup.
Defending champions Columbus Crew are looking to become the first repeat MLS champions in over a decade, while Lionel Messi and Inter Miami give chase.
Additionally, Messi headlines a thrilling top goal scorer chase as last year's winner Denis Bouanga of LAFC looks for another individual crown, pushed so far by Real Salt Lake's Cristian Arango and Christian Benteke of D.C. United. The LA Galaxy appear resurgent following a few down seasons, and FC Cincinnati continues to establish itself as an Eastern Conference power.
With the league now back from its month-long break for the Leagues Cup, the playoff hunt is in full swing as both conferences feature razor-thin margins at the edge of the postseason cut line.
