LA Galaxy will host Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 7:30 PM at Dignity Health Sports Park, with the match presented by Nongshim and the full broadcast on Apple TV. The club says the telecast for Dynamo - La Galaxy is being captured entirely on iPhone 17 Pro, a technical wrinkle that gives a routine league game a little extra shine.
Gates open at 6 PM and Galaxy Express shuttle service begins then, while Dimitri from MOSH EISLEY is scheduled to take the Sounds of the Galaxy stage before kickoff. Fans will find a long list of themed activations spread across the stadium, from Star Wars Night to Pups at the Pitch presented by Purina, turning the evening into more than just a soccer match.
That starts with the costume rules. Fans may wear Star Wars costumes, but anything that covers the face can only be worn while seated, and props such as lightsabers and blasters are not allowed. Star Wars characters will roam the stadium, and fans can shop an exclusive LA Galaxy x Culture Kings x Star Wars merchandise collection at LA Galaxy Team Stores.
Some of the biggest draws are tied to tickets already sold. Fans who purchased the Star Wars Night Ticket Pack can pick up an LA Galaxy Grogu Bobblehead before halftime at a special pick-up location on the east side of the Tennis Stadium, while fans with the Japanese Heritage Ticket Pack can collect a Japanese Heritage scarf at the Item Pick-Up booth before halftime. For those with Pups at the Pitch tickets, the grass berm will open to fans watching the match with their furry friends.
There is also a giveaway that reaches everyone walking through the gates. The club will hand out 15,000 Panini FIFA World Cup 26 Sticker Books while supplies last, underscoring how heavily the night leans on family-friendly appeal and collector-friendly extras. Fans can also head to the pregame party at Galaxy Park for family-friendly activities, drinks and music throughout the afternoon.
For supporters who stay after the final whistle, the night does not end with the match. All fans are welcome at a post-game Extra Time party in the American Express Stadium Club with music from MOSH EISLEY, extending a stadium event into a late-evening gathering.
The Galaxy Museum will also be part of the day through the Dignity Health Recharge space near Section 102 and behind the stairs to the American Express Stadium Club. Its display will focus on Galaxy players who have represented their countries on soccer’s biggest stage, linking the home club’s past with the international stage that sits in the background of this year’s celebration.
What makes Saturday matter is not just the opponent on the schedule, but the scale of the package wrapped around it. The matchday guide folds Star Wars Night, Purina’s Pups at the Pitch, heritage giveaways and a milestone broadcast into one evening, making Dynamo - La Galaxy as much a showcase of the club’s event machinery as of the game itself.
