Soccer in Los Angeles didn’t wait for MLS. It has always lived in the parks, carried by Latino communities. Today the city has two clubs, the LA Galaxy, 2024 MLS Cup champions, and LAFC. Their derby is called El Tráfico (of course). Add Angel City in the NWSL and World Cup games this summer. At night, there’s a game on everywhere.

Padel

Padel has caught on in LA, with a handful of clubs between Hollywood, Century City and Culver City. It’s the West Coast’s padel hub, though still a long way behind Miami.
