2024 MLS Cup Playoffs:

How does it work?

Home-away-home format:

Match 1: higher seed hosts

Match 2: lower seed hosts

Match 3 (if necessary): higher seed hosts

Win-only: Every Round One match will have a winner; no ties, no aggregate score.

PK shootout: No extra time will be played if a match is tied after regulation time (90 minutes). Teams will participate in kicks from the penalty spot to determine the winner.

Best-of-3: The first team to win two matches will advance. Conversely, the loser's playoff journey will end.

What's Next?

The winner of each Round One Best-of-3 series advances to the Conference Semifinals, which will be held November 23-24.

If a Conference Semifinal game is tied after regulation time (90 minutes), two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety. If the score is still tied after two extra time periods, a winner will be determined via a penalty kick shootout.
