Major League Soccer is witnessing significant changes as teams prepare for the 2025 season. The San Jose Earthquakes have finalized a transfer deal for goalkeeper Emmanuel Ochoa, who will be joining Cruz Azul in Liga MX. This move marks a notable shift for Ochoa, who has been a key player for the Earthquakes.

New York City FC has made headlines by appointing Pascal Jansen as their new head coach, taking over from Nick Cushing, who was dismissed in November. In addition to the coaching change, NYCFC has secured homegrown talent Jacob Arroyave, extending his contract through 2027 with an option for 2028. Arroyave's impressive performances with NYCFC II in MLS NEXT Pro and the US Open Cup have earned him this opportunity.

The New England Revolution have also been active in the transfer market, recalling midfielder Noel Buck from his loan at Southampton. They have also transferred forward Emmanuel Boateng to San Diego FC, indicating a shift in their roster strategy.

Austin FC has made a significant acquisition by bringing in United States striker Brandon Vázquez from Liga MX's CF Monterrey for a club-record transfer fee. This move highlights Austin FC's ambition to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.

Inter Miami CF, fresh off a historic 2024 season where they clinched the Supporters' Shield, is looking to build on that success. Despite their early exit from the MLS Cup Playoffs, the team is focused on improvement as they prepare for the 2025 season. Luis Suárez has emphasized the need for the team to enhance their performance, especially with upcoming competitions like the Concacaf Champions Cup and the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, where they will host the tournament opener against Al Ahly on June 14.

The New York Red Bulls, who narrowly missed out on the MLS Cup title in 2024, are gearing up for the new season under the continued leadership of Sandro Schwarz. Their season opener will be on the road against FC Cincinnati, with their home opener scheduled for March 1 against Nashville SC. Fans are particularly looking forward to the Hudson River Derby against NYCFC on May 17 and a highly anticipated match against Inter Miami featuring Lionel Messi on July 19.

As teams finalize their rosters and strategies, the current standings show that no matches have yet been played, leaving all statistics at zero as the league prepares for an exciting new season.
