LOS ANGELES (July 17, 2026) — The six‑time MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy announced today that tickets are sold out for the 2026 LA Galaxy vs LAFC match at Dignity Health Sports Park on Thursday, July 17 at 7:25 p.m. PT (FOX, Apple TV). As Major League Soccer returns following the FIFA World Cup 2026™, the spotlight immediately turns to Southern California for the league’s now sold-out marquee rivalry.

El Tráfico, one of the most anticipated fixtures in North American soccer, has regularly produced memorable moments, including the July 4, 2023 meeting at the Rose Bowl, where 82,110 fans watched the Galaxy defeat LAFC 2-1, setting the record for the largest standalone attendance in MLS history.
