Of the Galaxy’s 34 matches, 17 matches will be broadcast on one of MLS’ national television partners: ESPN, FOX Sports and Univision networks. Seven matches will be shown on ESPN, six will be shown on FOX and four will be shown on Univision networks in Spanish language broadcasting, with eight of the 17 nationally-broadcast matches played at StubHub Center. The 2015 season is the second of Major League Soccer’s eight-year television and media rights partnerships with ESPN, FOX Sports and Univision networks.


The Galaxy will take on Western Conference teams at least two times during the season and Eastern Conference team just once. LA play Colorado Rapids, Houston Dynamo, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC and Sporting Kansas City three times each. The Galaxy will host Eastern Conference sides Columbus Crew SC, D.C. United, New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls and Orlando City SC at StubHub Center, while traveling to Chicago Fire, Montreal Impact, New York City FC, Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC.


The first California Clasico – the team’s annual match with rivals San Jose Earthquakes – will take place on Saturday, March 19, at StubHub Center. The Galaxy will again host San Jose on Sunday, May 22, before traveling north for a match at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, June 25. The Galaxy are 28-20-12 all-time against San Jose in MLS matchups.


The club’s annual Fourth of July game features a match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at StubHub Center, marking the 21th consecutive season that the Galaxy will host a game on Independence Day, the longest such stretch in American professional sports.


A full schedule with times and local broadcast information will be announced at a later date.
