In July 2025, Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC routed Liga MX side Cruz Azul 7-0 in phase one of the 2025 Leagues Cup. It was among the biggest blowouts in competition history, but MLS alone has seen its fair share of lopsided scorelines over the years. In 2020, the Sounders scored seven on the Philadelphia Union in a 7-1 victory -- the six-goal blowout fell just shy of the record. The record, a seven-goal margin, has been accomplished a number of times, most recently in May 2025.
Here are the biggest blowouts in MLS history.
