Today, soccer is everywhere in Los Angeles, but it didn’t happen overnight.

From small crowds and overlooked leagues to sold-out stadiums and global fandom, this episode explores how soccer culture took root in L.A. and exploded into what it is today. With voices from fans, players, and the next generation, we connect the past to the present and look ahead to a future shaped by the World Cup and a new era of the game.



From local fields to the global stage.
