MLS Decision Day has arrived, with all of the league's teams in action on the final day of the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 7.

The matches will be staggered across two sets of simultaneous kickoffs, with eight matches scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and seven games at 7 p.m. ET.

In the Western Conference, six teams have already qualified for the playoffs while another six are in a race for the final three playoff berths. That leaves three teams that are already eliminated.

In the Eastern Conference, all nine playoff spots have been determined but teams will still be vying to secure better seeding and to avoid the wild card round.
