The table has a clear summit and a crowded chase

The league order

Inter Miami CF remains the league pacesetter, followed by Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Los Angeles FC, Nashville SC, FC Cincinnati, New York City FC, Chicago Fire FC, San Diego FC, FC Dallas, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Minnesota United FC, Charlotte FC, Philadelphia Union, Houston Dynamo FC, Columbus Crew, Portland Timbers, New England Revolution, Orlando City SC, Real Salt Lake, St. Louis City SC, New York Red Bulls, Colorado Rapids, Toronto FC, LA Galaxy, D.C. United, Austin FC, CF Montréal, Atlanta United FC, and Sporting Kansas City. The order is a power ranking rather than a replica of the standings, so recent performance and team rating can separate clubs with similar league positions.

Eastern Conference

Inter Miami CF leads the Eastern Conference ranking, with Nashville SC and FC Cincinnati next in line. New York City FC, Chicago Fire FC, Charlotte FC, Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew, New England Revolution, Orlando City SC, New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC, D.C. United, CF Montréal, and Atlanta United FC complete the conference order. Nashville SC owns the stronger standings position among the closest Eastern challengers, while FC Cincinnati sits higher in this ranking than its points return. Philadelphia Union arrives with a notably positive recent run, whereas Orlando City SC has fallen sharply in the ranking despite recent wins.

Western Conference

Vancouver Whitecaps FC head the Western Conference, narrowly ahead of Los Angeles FC, with San Diego FC next. FC Dallas, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Minnesota United FC, Houston Dynamo FC, Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, St. Louis City SC, Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy, Austin FC, and Sporting Kansas City follow. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Los Angeles FC remain the conference’s rating leaders, while San Diego FC stays near them in the order despite a more modest standings return. Houston Dynamo FC and Portland Timbers are among the movers upward, while Seattle Sounders FC have slipped after a difficult recent sequence.

What changed

Los Angeles FC and FC Cincinnati moved upward, while Nashville SC and New York City FC moved downward by a smaller margin. FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo FC, Columbus Crew, Portland Timbers, Philadelphia Union, Toronto FC, and D.C. United also improved their positions. Orlando City SC recorded the largest fall in the ranking. The selected fixture is New England Revolution against Houston Dynamo FC. The model gives New England Revolution the largest win probability, but the draw and Houston Dynamo FC outcomes retain meaningful probability, leaving this as an uncertain contest rather than a settled call.

Inter Miami CF leads at 1663.6; Vancouver Whitecaps FC follows at 1618.4.
