The San Jose Earthquakes have enjoyed a consistent start to the 2026 season, winning four of their opening five fixtures. They produced a shock result before the international break, landing a deserved 1-0 away win against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

A big part of their game this term has been their very reliable defensive record, having conceded just once in their first five matches. It is too early to say that they have playoff aspirations, but their defensive structure will give them a fighting chance against the leading teams in the MLS.
