When are they playing? Where are they playing? Who plays who? Get it all here.

Scott Halleran

The MLS Cup Playoffs are here. They are six weeks of chaos that conclude on December 7, when one team will be crowned champion of it all.

The regular season set the seeding for the playoffs, with five teams from each conference making the postseason. The fourth and fifth seeds will play a knockout match, with the winner drawing the top seed in the conference semifinals. The conference semifinals and finals are both two-legged ties, while the final is a one-off at the home of the team with the better regular season record.
