- On Tuesday, LAFC begins the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 at Estadio General Francisco Morazán with coach Marc Dos Santos leading the team in Honduras.
- With roster continuity this preseason, the LAFC roster returns more than 20 players from last year, and a late charge pushed LAFC to 60 points, clinching the final MLS spot.
- Dos Santos emphasizes a possession-based 4-2-3-1 with Timothy Tillman as a '10'; Jacob Schaffelburg is sidelined until next month, while Tyler Boyd, Amin Boudri, and David Martinez remain available.
- Stephen Eustúquio's six-month loan from FC Porto fills LAFC's midfield gap while Igor Jesus recovers, and a few weeks ago club leaders said players have adapted to new ideas.
- Historically, LAFC's continental runs include a 2020 final loss to Tigres UANL and strong campaigns under Steve Cherundolo and Bob Bradley, boosted by Hugo Lloris and Denis Bouanga.
