2023 MLS Cup Betting Online
We are a third of the way through the MLS season, and this campaign has already been full of surprises. Unlike the major European leagues, there is always a lot of parity in the MLS, and this season is no different.
To highlight that fact, FC Cincinnati is currently top of the table after being one of the worst franchises in the league from 2019 to 2021. They made a major step forward last season and are now the best team in the MLS and one of the favorites to win the MLS Cup by the current soccer betting odds. Recent expansion franchise Nashville SC has been solid too, allowing just nine goals through 14 matches to currently sit in second place in the Eastern Conference.
Expansion franchise St. Louis City SC won its first five matches and is in third place in the Western Conference as of late May. The Seattle Sounders look to avoid last year’s failure and are in second place in the West thanks to Stefan Frei and his seven clean sheets through 14 matches, while the defending MLS Cup champions Los Angeles FC are atop the West with just one loss in their first 12 games. On the other end of the table, the Los Angeles Galaxy are currently dead last in the MLS with a 2-8-3 record.
There will be a month-long pause in the schedule for the third edition of the Leagues Cup. Every team in the MLS and Liga MX will take part in this tournament that will run from July 21 to August 19.

The most successful team in the history of the MLS is the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Galaxy have won five MLS Cups, and they were the dominant team in the league at the start of the last decade. Los Angeles won it all in 2011, 2012, and 2014 with the most recent title breaking a tie with DC United as the most decorated team in the short history of the league.
DC United were the first MLS dynasty. They won three of the first four MLS Cups, and they won their fourth title in 2004. Unfortunately, the team in the nation’s capital has not had much success since that point, despite their publicized signing of Wayne Rooney in 2018.
The Seattle Sounders had been a juggernaut since entering the league in 2009 but their streak of making the playoffs ended at 13, as Seattle missed the playoffs in 2022. It was a dubious distinction for Seattle considering they made history by becoming the first MLS team to win the CONCACAF Champions League in 2022.
