After higher seeds hosted Game 1, lower seeds host Game 2 in each Round One Best-of-3 Series.
With another win, the leading team clinches a Conference Semifinal spot (played Nov. 23-24). If the trailing team wins, Game 3 awaits.
At this stage of the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs…
- Two wins: The first team to two wins advances.
- Win-only: Every Round One game will have a winner; no ties, no aggregate score.
- PK shootout: If a Round One game is tied after regulation time (90 minutes), no extra time will be played. There will immediately be a penalty kick shootout to determine the winner.
All Game 3s listed below are only played if necessary.
