It's a relatively quiet week in MLS with the October international break in full swing, but the compressed league schedule means that some teams are still playing this weekend.
Among them are Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami, who face off in New Jersey sitting ninth and 11th in the conference, respectively. The postseason is a long shot for both of these sides, but with most of their rivals idle the opportunity is there to gain valuable ground.
The weekend also features a derby match, as the Vancouver Whitecaps travel south to meet the Seattle Sounders. The Cascadian rivals are far apart in the standings — Seattle leads the West while the Whitecaps are chasing the conference's final playoff berth — but there's always a bit of an edge to the match whenever these teams square off.
Add in a red-hot Brian White, whose hat-trick against San Jose on Oct. 2 earned hime MLS Player of the Week honours, and the Sounders cannot underestimate a surging Vancouver side.
Here's the full schedule for Week 23 of the MLS season, plus how to watch every game live.
