The 2017 LA Galaxy season was the club's twenty-second season of existence, and their twenty-second season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer.
2017 marked a downturn for the club signalling the end of a dynasty for the Galaxy. [2] [3] [4] It was the first season since 2008 that the Galaxy failed to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, and they finished with the worst record in MLS. [5]
