The MLS Western Conference has seen a shake-up, with Vancouver Whitecaps emerging at the top after six matches, boasting 13 points and a strong +5 goal differential. Their impressive form includes four wins and just one loss, making them early favorites.
Right behind them, Austin FC is holding steady with 12 points, remaining unbeaten with three wins and three draws. San Diego FC, Minnesota United, and Colorado Rapids are all tied at 11 points, creating a tight mid-table battle and showcasing their competitive consistency.
Portland Timbers and FC Dallas are just one point back with 10 each, while LAFC follows closely with 9 points, looking to climb higher as the season progresses.
The middle of the table remains congested, with St. Louis City, San Jose Earthquakes, and Real Salt Lake all within striking distance of playoff spots. However, struggles are apparent further down.
Seattle Sounders, a club known for postseason success, are underperforming with just 6 points from six matches. Meanwhile, LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo sit with only 2 points each, both winless and facing early pressure. At the bottom, Sporting Kansas City has had a tough start, with just 1 point and five losses.
