 - Major League Soccer today announced changes to the Audi 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs schedule as the Western Conference Semifinal between Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United FC moves one day to Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. ET (8:31 p.m. ET kickoff) and will be televised on FOX and FOX Deportes. This shift in scheduling was not a result of Covid-19.
As part of this move, the Western Conference Final will now take place one day later on Monday, Dec. 7 on FS1 to maintain a minimum of three days of rest for all clubs.  In addition, the league confirmed Columbus Crew SC will host the New England Revolution in the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 3 pm on ABC. 
Along with the coverage from U.S.-based networks, the entire Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and 2020 MLS Cup will be carried live in Canada -- in English on TSN and in French on TVA Sports.
The Audi 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs will culminate the intensity of the postseason with MLS Cup on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. ET (8:38 pm ET) on FOX, UniMás/TUDN, TSN, TVA Sports, and in more than 190 countries around the world.
