The team acquired Glesnes the 31-year-old Norwegian center back from the Philadelphia Union in December.
Glesnes, the 2022 MLS Defender of the Year, is a two-time MLS Best XI selection and a three-time MLS All-Star.
"Jakob has been an exemplary addition to the Galaxy, and we are excited to announce that he is extending his time with the club," Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz said in a news release Tuesday.
"His impact in the dressing room and in all phases of the game on the field have provided a huge boost to our group from the first day of preseason. We are thrilled that Jakob will be a key part of our future and look forward to what we'll accomplish together."
Glesnes has recorded nine goals and 10 assists in 184 MLS regular-season matches (181 starts) with Philadelphia (2020-25) and the Galaxy.
