Teams are given an initial allotment of $2.93 million GAM for 2025, though there are additional ways to earn more per MLS:
Up to $3 million from eligible transfer revenue converted to GAMVia trade with another MLS club.
Qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Failing to qualify for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
The 2024 third Designated Player charge distribution.

One additional caveat before revealing the full breakdown: San Diego FC received an additional $2.765 million as they're an expansion club debuting this season.
