The LA Galaxy is part of the origins of Major League Soccer and its inaugural season in 1996. About 60,000 fans filled the Rose Bowl for the brand-new league’s game. And it has blossomed from there. David Beckham’s arrival at the Galaxy turned MLS into an international story, and last year the team celebrated a championship – the club’s sixth. Now, as FIFA World Cup 2026 descends on Southern California, Galaxy President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Braun is considering what comes next.
