The 2025 MLS season is working its way through the 34-game regular season schedule, as teams strive to finish top nine in their conference and punch their ticket to the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, with hopes of one day winning MLS Cup.

Now in its 30th season, MLS features 30 teams split into two 15 team conferences. Teams primarily play within their conference, with rare crossover games for each club. At the end of the season, the team atop the regular season standings wins the Supporters' Shield, and gains hosting rights through the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The winner of the MLS Cup Final wins the Phillip F. Anschutz Trophy.

Who has the Most MLS Goals in 2025?

The player who scores the most goals in the MLS regular season is given the Golden Boot at the end of the 34-game season. However, if there is a tie for the most goals, the award goes to the player with more assists. Former Premier League star Christian Benteke won the most recent title in 2024 as the only player to score 23 goals with D.C. United.
