NEW YORK, NY (Friday, October 2, 2015) – Major League Soccer today announced the national broadcast schedule for the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs. For the first time ever all postseason matches will be shown live on national television across the League’s partner networks, ESPN, FS1, Univision Deportes, TSN and RDS. The 2015 MLS Cup will air on Sunday, December 6 at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN, UniMás, TSN and RDS networks. In addition to the domestic broadcasts, playoff matches will be aired in more than 140 countries around the world.

 

The Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs features an expanded format with 12 teams qualifying – including bids to the top six teams in points from each conference at the end of the regular season. The top two seeds in each conference will earn first-round byes, while the third and fourth seeds will host the fifth and sixth seeds in single elimination Conference Knockout Round matches. The higher seeded teams will also host the second leg of the two-game, aggregate goal Conference Semifinals and Conference Championships series.


Following the second leg of the Conference Semifinals on November 8, teams will break for FIFA international match dates before returning for Leg 1 of the Conference Championships on Nov. 22.

 

For more information about the postseason format, please see the MLS Competition Rules and Regulations.

 

In addition to the playoffs, and as previously announced, MLS and its national broadcast partners this year will work in conjunction to brings fans the most meaningful matches of the final two weeks of the season on national TV.

 

Flex scheduling for the second-to-last weekend will allow FS1, ESPN and UniMás to select which key matches to showcase on that Friday, October 16 and Sunday, October 18.
