LA Galaxy vs. New York Red Bulls in MLS Cup final: Time, TV, live updates from title match

Two of Major League Soccer’s original clubs will compete in the MLS Cup final on Saturday when the Los Angeles Galaxy host the New York Red Bulls at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT) at Dignity Sports Health Park in Carson, Calif.

The Galaxy have been dominant during its postseason run, and hope to hoist a sixth MLS title, 10 years to the day after winning its last.

The Red Bulls, who knocked out the defending champion Columbus Crew in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs, hope to win their first MLS title.

“To see two clubs that have been at it as long as this league has been around to be here, I think it's a special moment,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said this week.

Maybe, even Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi – the 2024 MLS MVP – will be tuned in. He promoted the match on Instagram Saturday, saying “The MLS Cup final is today, and next season we will come back stronger to try and fight for the title.”

LA Galaxy vs. New York Red Bulls betting odds

According to BetMGM, here are the odds after regulation: LA Galaxy (-130), New York Red Bulls (+280), tie (+310). The over/under is set at 2.5 goals.

Galaxy hopes to win sixth MLS Cup final

Ten years after the club's last title, the Galaxy hopes to win the MLS Cup final again.

The team will be playing without star playmaker Riqui Puig, who suffered a torn ACL during the Western Conference final – before he delivered the game-winning assist to Dejan Jovelić last week.

Still, Los Angeles is loaded behind Gabriel Pec, Jovelić and Joseph Paintsil. The Galaxy has scored 16 goals in four postseason games, needing one more to tie to MLS record for goals by a club in the playoffs.

“We have been waiting for 10 years to have this opportunity,” center back Maya Yoshida said.

Red Bulls vying for first MLS Cup title

The Red Bulls have assumed the underdog role, and a “why not us?” mentality as the lowest playoff seed (No. 7) to reach the MLS Cup final.

The Red Bulls beat the Crew, New York City FC and Orlando City to reach the final, avoiding Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati – the last two Supporters’ Shield winners – in the playoffs.

Red Bulls goalkeeper Carlos Coronel has been instrumental, accounting for 19 saves and the club’s three clean sheets this postseason.

“We’re the lowest seed to make the final, and everybody keeps doubting us, and we've won three on the road now in the playoffs. It's not an easy thing to do. We are on the road again now. Why can't we?” Red Bulls defender John Tolkin said.
