The entire 2024 MLS season has come down to one more match, as the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls meet in this year's MLS Cup final on Saturday.

The Sporting News details when and how you can view the 2024 title match, with the game available to stream for free on MLS Season Pass.

What time is 2024 MLS Cup final kickoff?

The 2024 MLS championship match match is scheduled to kick off from Dignity Health Sports Park on Saturday, December 7 at 1 p.m. local time in Carson, CA.

However, keep in mind that often in actuality, MLS matches kick off slightly later than publicly scheduled. There is a high probability that this match will begin more like 1:10 p.m. ET.

Here's how the publicized time translates across the time zones in North America:

 DateKickoff time
Eastern TimeSat, Dec. 74 p.m.
Central TimeSat, Dec. 73 p.m.
Mountain TimeSat, Dec. 72 p.m.
Pacific TimeSat, Dec. 71 p.m.

Hosted by the LA Galaxy as the higher seed, the league championship match will determine the latest winner, and both clubs have history on the line.

For the Galaxy, once the league's most dominant franchise but without a title for a decade, the club can return to its former glory with a sixth championship, the most in MLS history.

Meanwhile, the seventh-seeded Red Bulls emerged from the chaotic Eastern Conference bracket hoping to snatch their first-ever MLS Cup title, in their first final since 2008 when they fell to the Columbus Crew. They would also become the lowest seed to ever win the MLS Cup with a win.
