Makes three saves in El Trafico
Marcinkowski recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made three saves while allowing two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw at LAFC, with the Galaxy surrendering a two-goal advantage during the second half. He was beaten by Denis Bouanga's close-range rebound in the 53rd minute before Leo Walta equalized nine minutes later, squeezing a finish underneath the goalkeeper following a defensive mistake inside the penalty area. Marcinkowski faced considerable pressure as LAFC outshot the Galaxy 21-11 and dominated the closing stages, but he helped preserve a point as the hosts failed to convert their late opportunities.
Makes five saves in draw
Marcinkowski recorded five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against San Diego FC.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made five or more saves for the eighth time in 25 starts in the season. The goalkeeper still has only four clean sheets over that span, though. He will now look for better luck in the local derby versus LA FC on Sunday.
Keeps clean sheet in win
Marcinkowski made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Portland.
Analysis: Marcinkowski bounced back from allowing a half-dozen in his previous game as he showed safety every single time he was called into action here, which included a miraculous save that denied the opposition what would've been an equalizer early in the second frame. This was just the fourth clean sheet of the year for the goalkeeper, the first in two months, and it's still early to consider him a safe choice for a fantasy team as he conceded multiple goals in four of his previous five starts.
Gives up six goals
Marcinkowski recorded no saves and allowed six goals in Sunday's 6-2 loss versus St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: It was a rough day for Marcinkowski, who didn't stop anything in a 6-2 loss. If he remains the goalkeeper against Portland Timbers, he'll have to contend with a side that has scored 51 goals through 28 MLS matches.
Makes two saves in win
Marcinkowski registered two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made no more than two saves for just the seventh time in 22 starts. The goalkeeper still has only three clean sheets over that span. He will now look for better luck at St Louis on Oct 11.
Extends contract with Galaxy
Marcinkowski has signed a contract extension with Los Angeles Galaxy through the 2028/29 season, the club announced Friday.
Analysis: Marcinkowski has had some ups and downs throughout his first year as a starter, but overall, his reflexes have saved the team from adverse results, convincing the club to grant him a new deal. The goalkeeper is averaging 3.9 saves and 1.3 goals conceded per game over 21 league appearances in 2026. He's likely to remain active as the favored option in the contention with Novak Micovic.
Concedes two
Marcinkowski had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Minnesota United.
Analysis: Marcinkowski registered three saves, but conceded twice and also failed to save the penalty. He has now recorded 25 saves in the last five games and conceded nine times. Next, he takes on Colorado Rapids.
Seven saves against Sounders
Marcinkowski recorded seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: For only the second time this season, Marcinkowski logged more than six saves, and he has reached or surpassed that tally in each of his last three appearances. The goalkeeper is without a clean sheet since Aug. 20, so he will look to prevent said streak from going a month by stopping all shots on goal Sept. 19 at Minnesota United.
Concedes three times in loss
Marcinkowski recorded six saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: If it weren't for Marcinkowski's six saves, this scoreline could've been a lot worse for LA Galaxy. The goalkeeper should have an easier matchup in his next game against a Seattle Sounders side which only has 24 goals in 22 MLS matches this season.
Records six saves
Marcinkowski made six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against the New England Revolution.
Analysis: For only the second time this season, Marcinkowski logged more than six saves in a single appearance. The goalkeeper has put forth strong performances since the second half of May, accumulating 30 saves, only five goals conceded and three clean sheets across eight games.
Suspension served
Marcinkowski has scored a one match suspension and will be an option for the clash with New England on Saturday.
Analysis: Marcinkowski will take his place back in the net after serving a suspension vs San Diego. He's conceded just three goals in the last five appearances, making 16 saves while holding on to two clean sheets in that span.
Shown red card in Montreal trip
Marcinkowski was sent off with a straight red card during Saturday's match against Montreal.
Analysis: Marcinkowski had made three saves and two clearances while allowing one goal in 69 minutes, but he risked a run out of his box to stop a clear chance and ended up committing a foul that earned him the red card. The goalkeeper will consequently be suspended next weekend versus San Diego. After that, he'll have a chance to reappear when the Galaxy face New England Revolution. Novak Micovic should have a rare chance to produce while Marcinkowski serves his ban.
Shuts out former club
Marcinkowski kept a clean sheet while making four saves during Wednesday's 1-0 win over San Jose.
Analysis: Marcinkowski helped the Galaxy claim all three points by shutting out San Jose on Wednesday. The keeper has allowed just one goal while combining for nine saves and keeping two clean sheets over his last three starts. The Galaxy head to Montreal in their next match Saturday.
Concedes lone goal in loss
Marcinkowski recorded one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made just one save while conceding the lone goal in Saturday's loss to Houston. On the bright side, he's allowed one goal or fewer in each of his last five MLS appearances, totaling 17 saves, including a penalty stop, and two clean sheets during that stretch. The keeper will face off with Houston for the next game on Wednesday, who have scored just three goals in the last five contests. Marcinkowski had condeded just one goal on four saves against the opponent during the last outing on Jul 26.
Secures clean sheet
Marcinkowski recorded four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Marcinkowski kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw with FC Dallas, making four saves across 90 minutes in a match where his side created the better opportunities but ultimately could not convert against a Jonathan Sirois who was in outstanding form throughout. The Galaxy goalkeeper has now conceded 19 goals across 14 MLS appearances this season from 52 saves, with Saturday's shutout only his second of the season and a timely confidence boost heading into the next fixture against Houston Dynamo.
Sees one go
Marcinkowski recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made four saves while allowing one goal in the 1-1 draw with San Jose. Over his last five MLS appearances, he has conceded six goals and recorded 18 saves, including a penalty stop, while also posting one clean sheet The keeper will face off with Dallas for the next game on Saturday, who have scored five goals in the last five contests.
Allows three in loss
Marcinkowski made six saves and conceded three goals during Wednesday's 3-1 loss against St. Louis City.
Analysis: Marcinkowski returned to the net after being benched in the previous match and definitely didn't get a lot of help from the defensive line, but still could've done a much better job on the opposition's second goal as he got caught by surprise in what appeared to be a routine save. With just one clean sheet and five games with multiple goals allowed to his account after 12 starts this season, Marcinkowski doesn't profile as a very appealing goalkeeper for fantasy teams right now.
Makes three saves in draw
Marcinkowski had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made three or more saves for the sixth time in 11 starts. The goalkeeper has only one clean sheet over that span, though. He will now face the LA derby against LA FC on Jul 17 after the World Cup.
Secures clean sheet in win
Marcinkowski made five saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Seattle Sounders FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.
Analysis: Marcinkowski hasn't been at his best this season, but this was a huge step in the right direction -- and it was also his first clean sheet of the 2026 MLS campaign. Marcinkowski has started each of the Galaxy's last 10 games, making 35 saves and conceding 14 goals in that span.
Concedes three in loss
Marcinkowski had four saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-1 loss against Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Marcinkowski made four saves Wednesday from seven Kansas City shots on goal and one clearance as Los Angeles were eased past in a 3-1 road defeat. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has made 21 saves and eight clearances while allowing eight goals. Marcinkowski's next opportunity to impress is likely to come Saturday when Los Angeles faces a challenging road test at Seattle.
