The 2014 LA Galaxy season was the club's nineteenth season of existence, and their nineteenth consecutive season in Major League Soccer, the top tier of American soccer.
The Galaxy won a league-leading fifth MLS Cup by defeating the New England Revolution in the final 2–1 in extra time. The club reached the quarterfinals of the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League before being knocked out by Tijuana, and were eliminated in the fifth round of the U.S. Open Cup by the Carolina Railhawks.
All-star Landon Donovan retired at the end of the season, after winning his sixth MLS Cup and fourth with the Galaxy. He would come out of retirement and sign with the Galaxy during the 2016 season.
