The league order
Inter Miami CF holds the league lead, 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. This is a strength order shaped by the model, not a restatement of the standings. Inter Miami CF’s position reflects the strongest current rating profile in the field, while Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Los Angeles FC form the nearest pursuing tier. Nashville SC’s standing position remains especially strong, even as the ranking places the club just behind that leading group.
Eastern Conference
Inter Miami CF sets the Eastern Conference pace in the ranking, with Nashville SC, FC Cincinnati, New York City FC, and Chicago Fire FC creating a competitive upper section. Charlotte FC, Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew, New England Revolution, and Orlando City SC make up the middle ground, where recent form and underlying rating do not always point in the same direction as the standings. New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC, D.C. United, CF Montréal, and Atlanta United FC complete the conference order. Philadelphia Union brings a notably positive recent run into its next match, while FC Cincinnati and Chicago Fire FC remain positioned above several Eastern sides with stronger current standing returns. New England Revolution enters the selected fixture against Houston Dynamo FC with a modest home-model advantage, but the draw and Houston Dynamo FC outcomes remain live possibilities.
Western Conference
Vancouver Whitecaps FC leads the Western Conference ranking, with Los Angeles FC and San Diego FC next in line. FC Dallas, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, and Minnesota United FC occupy the next cluster, followed by Houston Dynamo FC and Portland Timbers. Real Salt Lake, St. Louis City SC, Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy, Austin FC, and Sporting Kansas City round out the West. Los Angeles FC arrives with the clearest recent surge among the conference leaders, while Portland Timbers and Houston Dynamo FC have also built encouraging recent form. Seattle Sounders FC sits higher in the ranking than its latest results suggest, illustrating the separation between a model rating and short-term form. San Diego FC remains a strong Western rating despite a more modest standing return.
What changed

Philadelphia Union, Minnesota United FC, Toronto FC, and D.C. United also improved their placement. At the other end, Orlando City SC experienced the sharpest downward movement after a mixed recent set, while New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Charlotte FC, Real Salt Lake, LA Galaxy, and Austin FC moved down. Inter Miami CF, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Chicago Fire FC, San Diego FC, St. Louis City SC, New York Red Bulls, Colorado Rapids, CF Montréal, Atlanta United FC, and Sporting Kansas City held their places. The shifts describe movement within the rating-based order; they do not by themselves establish a change in standing position or guarantee the next result.
