What it was like
The biggest rivalry in American soccer. Galaxy vs LAFC at Dignity Health Sports Park — El Trafico 2026 in a summer Friday night slot. The parking lot opens early, the Riot Squad has been planning for weeks, and the atmosphere is the closest thing to European derby culture that MLS produces. Two of the best teams in the Western Conference. One city. The stakes are always real because the bragging rights last until the next one.
