Sporting San Miguelito are the early leaders in the Panamanian first division Eastern Clausura, earning eight points through five matches (2W-1L-2D).
Their strong start to the campaign is led by a pair of goals from Joel Barría, accounting for 33% of their goals thus far this season.

- Qualifying method: 2025 Leagues Cup third place
Despite a 14th-place finish in the Western Conference last season, the 2024 MLS Cup champions are back in the CCC with a revamped squad.
The Galaxy upgraded with midfielder/defender Justin Haak and former MLS Defender of the Year Jakob Glesnes. They also utilized the Designated Player roster slot vacated by Riqui Puig (long-term injury) to acquire striker João Klauss from St. Louis CITY SC.
Klauss forms a dangerous front three alongside DP wingers Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil, while German legend Marco Reus brings the midfield creativity.
