Whether LA Galaxy or Seattle Sounders advances from their playoff series, the Western Conference champion will host the MLS Cup Final and be a heavy favorite. But first, they have to go through each other (5 p.m. ET, ESPN).
LA Galaxy vs. Seattle Sounders live stream: How to watch the 2014 MLS Playoffs online
The league’s two best teams meet in what might be its best conference final ever.

The Supporters' Shield race came down to an unplanned two-game series between these two sides in the last two matches of the regular season. Seattle was able to snag a draw in LA, then defeat the Galaxy at home to head into the playoffs with the league's best record and homefield advantage throughout.
Long-time Seattle absentees Damion Lowe and Kevin Parsemain are getting close to full fitness, but they're reserves and are unlikely to play. They're also sweating the fitness of Osvaldo Alonso and Lamar Neagle, who might not be able to play. LA's gotten a boost, learning that Todd Dunivant might be able to play before their season ends, but he's unlikely to replace Robbie Rogers even if he is 90 minutes fit. Rogers has been in excellent form in the second half of this season.
If you live in the USA, the best place to watch the game is on the Watch ESPN app. The game is on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, so there will be streams from both of those networks on that service, meaning you have the option to watch in English or Spanish. However, you do need to be a TV subscriber to watch.
The game is also on BT Sport 1 and their streaming service in the UK. For listings from other countries, check out Live Soccer TV.
