Reus and his team would lose 3–1 against league runner-up Wolfsburg at Olympiastadion, failing to win his third final with the club and thus his first major trophy.

On 24 March 2024, Reus scored his second goal of that season's Champions League campaign, a second leg round of 16 match against PSV Eindhoven, which ended in a 2–0 home victory (3–1 on aggregate) for Dortmund.

[87] A week later Reus would be part of a 2–0 away victory at Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich, making a crucial step towards securing Champions League spots for the following season.

On 15 August 2024, Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy confirmed the signing of Reus on a two-and-a-half year contract.

[97] On 7 December 2024, Reus and his squad won the MLS Cup with a 2–1 win against Eastern Conference champions New York Red Bulls for the first time in ten years, also marking his first ever league title of his professional career.

[108] Reus established himself as a regular member of Joachim Löw's side in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, scoring five goals and registering three assists in six matches.

[109] He was named in Germany's squad for the World Cup finals, but was ultimately forced to withdraw after suffering an ankle injury in the team's last 6–1 warm-up win against Armenia on 6 June.

[110] Shkodran Mustafi would fill his empty spot in the squad and Reus would miss his team winning the trophy for the fourth time in their history.

Reus made his international comeback in Germany's first post-World Cup friendly against Argentina on 3 September 2014, whom they had beaten in the final two months prior.

[111] From then on, Reus would wear the shirt number 11, previously worn by Miroslav Klose, who retired from the national team after the World Cup.

During qualification for UEFA Euro 2016, Reus made four appearances, scoring once in a 2–0 victory over Georgia in Tbilisi, but was not selected for the tournament after suffering a groin injury.

[122] In October 2023, Reus showed interest to become part of the squad to represent Germany at the UEFA Euro 2024 on homesoil, and did not rule out a participation at the tournament should there be no physical complications.

[155] He had been driving for years with a fake Dutch licence,[156] a felony in its own right,[157] and has been issued with speeding tickets on at least five occasions since 2011 without authorities knowing that he was not legally licensed.

The felony charges for using a counterfeit licence were later dropped, causing some controversy and raising questions from politicians whether his celebrity status had been a reason for a milder sentence.
