League Tables

Major League Soccer

The table as it stands, and where the model expects it to finish. Projections are final positions, not qualification or relegation. How the model works.

What moved

Measured against 2026-09-13, the last update whose numbers changed — not against the last time the page was built, because an unchanged projection is carried forward rather than restamped. 30 clubs moved in all; the rest are in the projection below.

  • Austin — bottom-three risk down 24.9, to 44.8%.
  • San Diego — bottom-three risk up 16.2, to 25.3%.
  • Vancouver Whitecaps — chance of finishing top down 14.5, to 66%.
  • Houston Dynamo — chance of finishing top up 5.3, to 10.2%.
  • FC Dallas — chance of finishing top up 4.8, to 13.8%.

Season projection

Every one of the 80 matches this phase has left, played out 10,000 times by the same model that makes our match predictions — but rating each side on its whole season rather than its last six games, since one hot run should not decide a title race. The figures are final positions, not qualification or relegation: those depend on each country's rules and playoffs. A statistical estimate, not betting advice. These figures cover the Western Conference only. The Western Conference is not the end of the competition: Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-finals, and on from there follow it, and no projection here covers them. Movement is measured against 2026-09-13, the last update whose numbers changed.
