LOS ANGELES (October 10, 2026) – Following a two-week international break, the LA Galaxy resume MLS play on Sunday, October 11, against St. Louis CITY SC at 4 p.m. PT on Apple TV (Sunday Night Soccer) from Energizer Park. With just six matches remaining in the regular season, the Galaxy will look to pick up valuable points on the road as they enter a demanding stretch that includes three matches over the next seven days.
LA Galaxy vs St. Louis CITY SC
Sunday's match will be the eighth all-time meeting between the Galaxy and St. Louis CITY SC with LA seeking their first win in the series (0-3-4). In 2025, St. Louis earned a 3-0 victory in Missouri on March 9 before the clubs played to a 3-3 draw at Dignity Health Sports Park on June 14. Earlier this season, St. Louis claimed a 3-1 victory on July 26, with Troy Elgersma scoring his first MLS goal for the Galaxy. Sunday's contest will also mark João Klauss' first appearance against St. Louis since joining the Galaxy in February. The Brazilian missed the July meeting between the sides due to injury after spending the first three seasons of his MLS career with St. Louis, where he totaled 35 goal contributions in 79 regular-season appearances. Since arriving in Los Angeles, Klauss has recorded seven goals in 11 league appearances, including goals in consecutive matches in September.
