Houston Dynamo, LA Galaxy Match Postponed After Severe Weather Delay

The scheduled MLS regular-season match between the Houston Dynamo and the LA Galaxy was postponed after a more than four-hour delay due to severe weather, including heavy rain and lightning, that made the pitch unsafe for play. Despite efforts to prepare the field following the storm, standing water persisted, leading officials to cancel the match late Friday night out of player safety concerns. Fans who had tickets for the game will have their tickets reissued for the rescheduled contest and are also eligible to claim a complimentary ticket to a future Dynamo regular-season match at Shell Energy Stadium. Both teams will now shift focus to upcoming Leagues Cup matches, with the Dynamo hosting Tigres UANL and the Galaxy facing Tijuana. The postponement highlights the challenges of scheduling during inclement weather and the commitment of both clubs to player safety and fan engagement.
