With derby matches across the league and a few MLS Cup playoff spots still up for grabs, Matchday 37 of the 2025 Major League Soccer season promises to be an exciting one across the board.
The New York Red Bulls’ Eastern Conference playoff hunt takes center stage in the Hudson River derby, while a Cascadia Cup-deciding clash between Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Seattle Sounders FC reigns critical in Western Conference seeding.
Those two battles highlight a 14-match Saturday slate, followed by FC Cincinnati vs. Orlando City SC as the standalone Sunday game.
The top nine teams in each conference qualify for the playoffs, with the No. 8 seed playing the No. 9 in a one-match Wild Card knockout game. The winner of that match goes on to face the No. 1 seed in the first round best-of-three series, while the rest of the bracket fills out on seeding.
Here are the teams that have already clinched, along with the clubs that could secure their postseason tickets this weekend.
