Chivas USA played their home matches in the StubHub Center.

Chivas USA was a soccer team based in Carson, California that competed in Major League Soccer (MLS) from 2005 until folding after the 2014 season.[1][2] The MLS regular season typically runs from February to October and the best-performing team is awarded the Supporters' Shield. The top teams from each conference qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, a postseason tournament that culminates in the MLS Cup.[3][4]

In addition to league play, Chivas USA participated in the annual U.S. Open Cup tournament organized by the United States Soccer Federation. During the 2008 season, the club participated in the 2008–09 CONCACAF Champions League, which is an annual international competition between league and cup champions in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The club participated in the North American SuperLiga from 2008 to 2010, a former competition between MLS and Liga MX teams.

The club played a total of ten seasons in MLS, with 92 wins, 149 losses, and 79 draws over 320 games.[5] The club's 2014 season set a record-low attendance for the league, with an average of 7,063 fans attending. The club ceased operations immediately after the end of the 2014 season. Less than a month later, a new expansion team in Los Angeles was announced, which eventually became Los Angeles FC.[6]
