Buy MLS Wild Card Tickets
Cheer on your team with MLS Wild Card tickets from TicketSmarter. In 2023, Major League Soccer (MLS) introduced a new postseason format that includes a Wild Card round, Round One, Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals leading up to the MLS Cup. The Wild Card round consists of two single-elimination matches between the eighth and ninth seeds in each conference to determine the final two postseason participants.
The higher seed hosts both Wild Card matches and the winner of each will advance to play the No. 1 seed in their respective conference. Wild Card matches do not include extra time, rather teams will participate in penalty kicks if the score is tied at the end of regulation.
In Round One, teams will compete in a best-of-three series to determine the conference semifinalists. The Conference Semifinals, Conference Final and MLS Cup are each single-elimination.
Get your MLS Wild Card tickets to secure your seat in the stands. As of 2023, there are 29 teams split into two MSL conferences. Each squad plays 34 matches in the regular season and the top seven teams from each conference earn automatic bids to the MLS Cup Playoffs.
