LA Galaxy: 2021 MLS regular-season schedule
LA Galaxy go into the 2021 MLS season aiming to bounce back from their disappointing 10th-place finish in the Western Conference last year.
Who do LA Galaxy play in their 2021 MLS regular-season opener?
Under new head coach Greg Vanney, LA Galaxy are out to bounce back from a disappointing 2020 MLS season - the five-time champions failed to make the MLS Cup playoffs, finishing 10th in the Western Conference. They kick off their 2021 campaign with a trip to face David Beckham-owned Inter Miami in Fort Lauderdale this weekend.
Galaxy take on Miami, now coached by Beckham’s former Manchester United and England team-mate Phil Neville, at DRV PNK Stadium at 12 pm PT on Sunday.
