Top 100 Soccer Clubs in the United States and Canada

The latest rankings capture the first half of the action in 2015 including the Canadian Championship and U.S. Open Cup.

By unionoscopy

Since the last update, over 900 soccer games have been played in the leagues and tournaments tracked in our top 100. Six months later the LA Galaxy still hold the top spot in the rankings, with Sporting Kansas City moving up from 12th to the 2nd spot. However, if you look at the graph below you'll notice that it was only recently that LA reclaimed the top spot. Feel free to check out the trend of your favorite club and compare it against the others in the survey.

The top non-MLS club is the New York Cosmos at #21. The top USL club continues to be the Richmond Kickers at #24, but the Rochester Rhinos made a large leap from 38th to 27th to be the 2nd team in USL. The top team in the PDL is the Charlote Eagles at #36. And congratulations to the Floridians for claiming the 100th spot!

The results of nearly 6,000 soccer games since 2011 were used to develop this ranking. To read about the ELO methodology used to do the calculations read here.

Here is the top 100 as of July 12, 2015:

UPDATE: Jacksonville Armada should be at 1,172 points and #34 on the list!
