The October international break is over, and MLS is back in a big way with 25 matches scheduled for the next seven days.
Action gets underway in Quebec, where CF Montreal is hosting the Philadelphia Union in a crucial late-season encounter. The teams are separated by five points and four places in a tight Eastern Conference, with Philadelphia sitting third ahead of the week's games. Montreal's in a more precarious position, occupying seventh place and with several clubs gunning for their spot on the table.
Only seven teams per conference make the playoffs, so every game is a massive one for Montreal between now and the end of the regular season (Nov. 7).
Elsewhere, the LA Galaxy look to turn around a prolonged slide as they head into Saturday's match against visiting Portland Timbers sixth in the West and falling fast. Across town, LAFC host San Jose Earthquakes in a battle of teams who are on the outside of the postseason picture by just a few points.
The match of the week takes place in Harrison, N.J., where the latest edition of the "Hudson River Derby" is set to have huge implications for the two rivals. New York City FC is sixth in the East with 40 points, while the surging New York Red Bulls are just three points back despite entering the week in ninth place.
Here's the full schedule for Week 24 of the MLS season, plus how to watch every game live.
