The 2025 MLS season is now firmly going on, which means it's time for ESPN's power rankings now.
Who is climbing the table? Who is free in autumn? Our writers looked at the moves in Game 14 to present orders from all 30 teams in the league this week. Let's dive.
Previous rankings: 1
The hat headed to Texas and returned after a 0-0 draw with Austin. With only two shots, it's not a screaming "the best team in the league" performance, but Vancouver is good enough this year to enjoy the benefits of questioning.
Previous rankings: 3
The union needs a fine for Tai Chi, but defeated Atlanta 1-0 on Saturday. Their last failure was over a month ago, after the midweek open-style cup, followed by a home date with Miami rolled up.
Previous rankings: 6
Minnesota knows what it wants to do and can do it well, and it is a 3-0 victory over St. Louis City, where Loons deploys what’s now classic recipe. Win the ball possession battle? no thanks. They would rather win the game…convincing.
Previous rankings: 2
The crew fell into a nasty habit to settle the draw, rallied 1-1 against Cincinnati this weekend. It was the third straight win for the crew, and despite their honors for their passion for defeats for their rivals, this is the game we used to see the Wilfried Nancy club find a way to win.
Previous rankings: 7
Cincinnati opened the scoring with a goal from Kévin Denkey but couldn't win the competition in a 1-1 deadlock with Columbus. Nevertheless, Cincin only lost one of the last ten times, and in the case of Evander Fit and Assinging the ceiling is high.
Previous rankings: 4
Miami international defensive struggle continues, with Lionel Messi unable to beat Orlando's Herons 3-0 to attack them. After the eight-game unbeaten game started, the three-game winning streak and the CONCACAF Champions League knockout raise a lot of questions about how Javier Mascherano guides his team.
Previous rankings: 8
Nashville couldn't find the back of the net in a DC 0-0 draw at Geodis Park on Saturday - even after manager BJ Callaghan brought some of his unstarted regulars. But, earlier in the home run, Nashville was unbeaten in the last five games.
Previous rankings: 14
Orlando headed to Florida rival Inter Mimiami and was the state's top team with a 3-0 victory. It was Orlando's third straight game, winning the third straight game, and the Lions avoided defeat.

San Diego is a better team, but couldn't find a decisive goal in a 0-0 draw with Kansas City. Still, things are clicking in the best cities in the United States, ending up a three-game victory.
Previous rankings: 11

Timbers admitted an immediate reaction in the Cascadia Cup match, with Santi Moreno scoring in the 36th minute of a 1-1 draw with Seattle. David Da Costa’s assists scored seven points this season and two goals.

Red Bull traveled through towns and fell 2-0 to New York City at Citi Field. Did they use all their targets on the galaxy last weekend? After that seven-point explosion, they fell 2-1 to Nashville in the mid-week and were turned away on Saturday.

Previous rankings: twenty one
Austin took the first place in the league but was unable to pass the ball, drawing 0-0 with Vancouver. That's behind the family draw with Atlanta. The metric says teams should achieve results, which only makes their efforts actually winning even more frustrating.
Previous rankings: twenty three
It was a great week for Dynamo, who won 2-0 at Toyota Stadium since 2011 and his first win at Toyota Stadium after a 2-0 victory over Minnesota in Houston. Jack McGlynn's offseason move continues to pay dividends.

The five stripes' no-win points continue, entering eight games after a Wednesday draw with Austin and a 1-0 victory over Philadelphia this weekend. Manager Ronny Deila competed for the big acquisition of Emmanuel Latte in the latter game, but did not generate more PEP in the face of the goal.
