This week, some of the final games of the MLS 2020 season will be played. But these won’t be ordinary games as the MLS Playoffs draw nearer.
What has been a busy year for American football clubs is about to have a dramatic end as the playoffs loom. Not only are teams competing to play post-season football. They are also fighting it out for the chance to dominate American football (or soccer).
The MLS Playoffs, set to kick off Nov. 20, will feature 18 teams for the first time ever. That means 26 teams have to fight it out for a chance to play in the post-season of the league.

In the Western Conference, all the teams have made it to the playoffs. Seattle Sounders, Sporting Kansas City, Portland Timbers, Minnesota United FC, LAFC, FC Dallas, Colorado Rapids, San Jose Earthquakes have all secured their place.
In the Eastern Conference, however, two spots are still very much up for grabs.

For these teams, their final games, to be played in a few hours’ time, will determine the outlook of their season.
A game to particularly look out for is the one between DC United and Montreal Impact. Both sides are in contention for an MLS Playoffs spot. The recent history between both sides has been dominated by Montreal Impact, having won three of their last five meetings.
For newly created Inter Miami CF, they take on FC Cincinnati. Thiers is an opponent that has nothing to lose as they are out of the running and have lost four games on the bounce. It’s a first meeting between the two sides and it can make or mar David Beckham’s dreams of pushing his side into the playoffs for the very first time.
