Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 29 teams across Major League Soccer
The 2024 MLS playoff field is nearly set. The West has their teams confirmed, while seeding is still being fought for over the two final Matchdays of the campaign.
The East, however, is still open season. Four teams are actively fighting for their playoff lives heading into MLS's Decision Day
Notably, Inter Miami has clinched the Supporters' Shield, securing the regular season trophy thanks to Lionel Messi's brilliance in a closely contested match against Cucho Hernandez and the Columbus Crew on Matchday 36.
Elsewhere, both the LA Galaxy and LAFC look like MLS Cup contenders, while Minnesota United, the Seattle Sounders and Orlando City are all in the middle of brilliant runs that could see them emerge as dark-horse candidates.
As the season is racing towards its conclusion, which club leads the pack, and who is falling short of expectations? GOAL presents the latest MLS Power Rankings.

Advertisement28Sporting Kansas City ⬇️
It takes a lot of effort to fall in the rankings this late in the season. SKC's performances of late have been like watching a helium balloon slowly deflate and wither. Following the club's loss in the U.S. Open Cup Final on Sept. 25, they had no fight against LAFC at home in a 3-0 loss.
27Chicago Fire ⬆️
SKC were so bad, Chicago moved up a spot, despite also being not good. They took Charlotte to the wire on MD36, though, and you have to respect that.
26New England Revolution ↔️
Eliminated from playoff contention after an abysmal performance against D.C. United. Now, it's time to evaluate Caleb Porter's future as manager.
