Decision Day 2025 – Saturday, October 18
The final matchday of the regular season will feature all 30 MLS clubs battling for playoff positions. Kickoff times are set for 6 p.m. ET in the Eastern Conference and 9 p.m. ET in the Western Conference.
Wild Card Matches – Wednesday, October 22
Each conference’s No. 8 and No. 9 seeds will square off in a single-elimination Wild Card clash hosted by the higher seed. Winners will advance to Round One to face the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences.
Round One Best-of-3 Series – October 24 to November 9
The top seven teams in each conference, plus the two Wild Card winners, will compete in a best-of-three series. Every club is guaranteed at least one home playoff game. The higher seed hosts Game 1, the lower seed hosts Game 2, and if necessary, Game 3 returns to the higher seed’s stadium.
Conference Semifinals – November 22-23
The playoff intensity rises with single-elimination semifinal matches. Each of the four contests will be hosted by the team with the better regular-season record.
Conference Finals – November 29-30
The last two clubs standing in each conference will compete for a chance to reach the championship stage. The Eastern and Western Conference Finals will determine the two participants in the 2025 MLS Cup presented by Audi.
2025 MLS Cup Final – Saturday, December 6
The season’s biggest prize will be decided on December 6. Hosting rights go to the finalist with the superior regular-season record.
