There will be 10 days between Game 1 at Subaru Park and Game 2 at New England, then just four days before a Game 3 if necessary in Chester.
A week after they met in the regular-season finale, Mikael Uhre and the Union face the New England Revolution in the first round of the playoffs.Major League Soccer released the schedule for the first round of the playoffs on Sunday night, and it’s unlike anything the Union has seen before.
Of course, this year’s playoff format as a whole is totally new: an early wild-card round, then a best-of-three first full round, then single-game rounds the rest of the way. The league’s decision to abandon having single-game rounds the whole way was encouraged by Apple, and by lower-ranked teams that wanted to be guaranteed a home game regardless of merit. The format was announced in February, and you can expect much of the criticism that arose then to rise again now.
There are some external factors involved. The Union likely don’t want to have a game at the same time as a potential Phillies World Series game, and the Revolution share Gillette Stadium with the NFL’s Patriots. The Game 1 kickoff time and the Game 2 date took care of that. Nov. 12 is the Eagles’ bye weekend, so the Union won’t have to worry about fans splitting their attention.MLS and Apple structured the round’s overall schedule so there will be games on Oct. 25, 28, 29, and 30, Nov.
After the first round ends, the playoffs will stop for the November FIFA window. The conference semifinals are to be played Nov. 25-26, with the schedule to be set after the first round ends. The conference finals are set for Dec. 2-3, and the championship game is set for Dec. 9 at 4 p.m.Game 1: Saturday at Union, 5 p.m. Game 3 : Nov. 12 at Union, 3 p.m. Game 2:Game 3 :Nov. 11 at Houston, 4 p.m.
