First preseason game is tomorrow v. DC United (just added apparently) and is closed to the public and media D.C. United has added a preseason match vs LA Galaxy on Tuesday in Carson. Closed to public and media. They'll play three 30-minute sessions. #dcu #mls— Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) January 23, 2023
Here's the original pre-season schedule announcement, which had set the first closed door scrimmage as Friday v. Charlotte. Not sure if they are still doing that or the DC United game Tuesday is in lieu of Friday's game. https://www.lagalaxy.com/news/la-galaxy-announce-2023-preseason-games-at-dignity-health-sports-park
No real information on this tweet (other than showing a few of the DC United starters, such as Tyler Miller and Christian Benteke), but the game is apparently underway and is being held in the main stadium Todos juntos.We are underway in LA 🦅#DCU || #VamosUnited pic.twitter.com/amOhXf4x83— D.C.

Whoa, was going to make a snide comment about how Benteke is still playing and found out he's only 32 years old. Seems like he's been around forever.
Here's a tweet with a "little" more detail. I'm guessing Judd with the last minute winner. He's got a little Alan Gordon in him 3-2. The LA Galaxy beat DC United 3-2 today on a last-minute winner. DC goals: Santos (Taxi on the assist) and Ted Ku-DiPietro, who scored off a corner. Enjoy. https://t.co/Smer1vHabI— Pablo Iglesias Maurer (@MLSist) January 24, 2023
Efrain Alvarez’s goal vs DC United in todays preseason match. #LAGalaxypic.twitter.com/BMT3Ee9bLz— Galaxy Fan Talk (@LAGalaxyFanTalk) January 25, 2023 looks like our strategy this year will be to have efra dribble through the defense and pop in goals with his left (no one will scout his left!)

Jalen Neal’s USA Debut 🇺🇸- 86/92 (93%) passing - 9/9 on long balls- 12 passes into the final third - 1 blocked shot - 3 clearances - 1 interception - 3 recoveries Aside from a miscommunication error, a solid night for the 19-year-old #USMNT #LAGalaxy pic.twitter.com/CIEgmzWb7d— Alex Ruiz (@AlxRuiz15) January 26, 2023 Jalen Neal by the numbers. Didn't get to see the match so can't comment on that.
I noticed during the game that his passing was very accurate. My concerns are about his defending, especially when it gets physical in and around the box.
Looks like they switched the closed door scrimmage against Charlotte from today to tomorrow (Saturday, 1/28) at 10:30 am at DHSP https://www.lagalaxy.com/schedule/matches#competition=all&date=2023-01-28

Con calma 🇪🇸@RiquiPuig puts the penalty away in our friendly against Charlotte FC! pic.twitter.com/2Q1d1wa9mY— LA Galaxy (@LAGalaxy) January 29, 2023 Second goal of the preseason for Riqui Puig.
We have a friendly at home on Saturday and, as far as I can tell, the game won't be on appletv or streamed on the website. Last year all the stadium matches were streamed. If anyone wants to go, I have 4 tickets I can't use or sell or give away and they can be yours if you'll use them.
Game against NYCFC today. It will be interesting to see if Araujo and Douglas Costa get playing time. Also, there is an unknown trialist in camp, maybe we'll know who it is. He's behind Judd at the end of the video :
