The combination of the four networks represents the broadest domestic distribution ever for the championship match. 2019 MLS Cup on November 10 (3 p.m. ET) will be the culmination of an exciting new playoff format that features single-game elimination matches played entirely within a three-week span beginning October 19.
After the close of regular season play on Sunday, October 6,

. Every game matters and every goal counts in the regular season as higher seeds will enjoy homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and the top seeds in each conference earn a bye in Round One. Again in 2019, every postseason game will be broadcast nationally across the league’s domestic U.S. partners ESPN, FS1 and Univision, and in Canada on TSN and TVA Sports networks.
Following six Round One games on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20, the four Eastern and Western Conference Semifinal games will be played on Wednesday, Oct. 23 and Thursday, Oct. 24. Two games will be played on each of the match dates, and just four teams, two from each conference, will advance.

The Conference Final drama unfolds on consecutive nights, Tuesday, Oct. 29 and Wednesday, Oct. 30, with each of the Conference Champions advancing to 2019 MLS Cup.
