MLS Playoffs Tickets
MLS Playoffs Soccer Tickets
Watch professional soccer players compete to get to the championship with MLS Playoffs tickets. The Major League Soccer playoffs determine who gets to play in the final game and compete for the MLS Championship. The playoffs are held in a single-elimination format with the final game determining who receives the MLS Cup and is champion of the league.
14 teams participate in the tournament and each conference plays in its own bracket. As of 2019, seven teams from the Eastern Conference and seven from the Western Conference qualify for the tournament based on play in the regular season and accumulating points.
Be there for your team for the kickoff with MLS Playoffs tickets. The MLS Playoffs differ from most other top-tier professional men’s soccer leagues around the world in using a single-elimination format, who use total points to determine the champion in their leagues. The MLS awards the team with the highest point total the Supporters Shield. If that team is U.S.-based, it then will compete in the CONCACAF Champions League.
The top team in each conference bracket gets a first-round bye and advances to the conference semifinals, facing the winner of the fourth-fifth seed game. If there is a tie for the point totals, there is a tie-breaking system in place, which uses criteria including, in order of importance, most wins, goal differential, goals scored and other factors.
