2025 MLS Power Ranking averages, week 1

16 sites published for the opening week of 2025.

February 28, 2025

16 sites published rankings to start the opening week of 2025. I’ve added several new analytic sites, these may or may not remain since they track all games played (including CCC and USOC) to calculate their ratings. I’ll watch them over the course of the season to see if they’re tracking accurately. Consistently above/below the average would be a good indication.

Many sites from last year haven’t started yet, I’ve kept them listed below, but may start removing them if they haven’t started by week 5 or 6.

A reminder of what Power Rankings should be (not that every site does, of course):

"If two teams played tomorrow, given their current injury concerns, form, and other considerations, who is likely to win on a neutral field? All things being equal, who is the best team going forward, based on what we know now?"
