The MLS Cup Playoffs are fast approaching and teams are looking to cement their postseason positions in the coming weeks. Now each week, we will take a look at the Western Conference standings and the remaining schedules for the teams in playoff contention. With playoff dates now set, we will also look at where each team would match up … if the season ended today.
At the top of the West, FC Dallas and LAFC would jump to the Conference Semifinal Round. Meanwhile, Sporting Kansas City would host the Portland Timbers in one game of the Knockout Round while the other would see Real Salt Lake hosting Seattle Sounders FC.
