Major League Soccer is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and coincidentally, the arrival of the latest expansion team, San Diego FC, meant that 30 teams took part at the start of the 2025 MLS regular season.
Unlike other new outfits, who were slow to find their groove, San Diego have taken to MLS life like a duck to water, finishing top of the Western Conference (and qualifying for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup) after their 34-game regular season schedule.
Let GOAL give you all the vital SDFC ticket information you need ahead of their MLS Cup Playoff encounters, including where you can purchase them and how much they will cost.

What to expect from San Diego FC 2025/26?
Not only have San Diego FC hit the ground running on the pitch, they’ve also made massive strides off it. A huge crowd of 34,506 (a stadium record) saw their very first match against St. Louis City back in March and they’ve maintained those high numbers this year. An average of 28,000+ have squeezed into the Snapdragon Stadium this season, which places San Diego 4th in the MLS attendance chart. Success always boosts popularity of course and the crowds are going to keep on coming if they go deep in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Over half a million people will have seen SDFC live by the end of this season and you could be one of them if you book your match tickets today.
The standout player for San Diego this season has been the well-travelled Dane, Anders Dreyer. As well as being the club’s leading scorer with 19 goals this term, he’s also been the key provider and sits on top of the MLS assists standings with 19. Dreyer is also a resilient character, having played almost every single one of San Diego’s games this season.
San Diego has a strong Scandinavian spine in general with Jeppe Tverskov (Denmark), Christopher McVey (Sweden) and Onni Valakari (Finland) all making valuable contributions. Another important element to San Diego’s success is that the squad has a good age mix. The over-30s include Jeppe Tverskov, Anibal Godoy, Paddy McNair and Hirving Lozano. The 23 and unders include Luca Bombino, Tomas Angel, Ian Pilcher and Alex Mighten.
