MLS Matchday 27 is here! After a week of All-Star Game activities, all 30 teams are in league action just three days after the MLS All-Stars beat the Liga MX All-Stars 3-1. This will be a telling week as it will mark the point where the majority of teams drop to single digits of games remaining in their seasons.

Last week saw more flip-floping at the top of the east as FC Cincinnati now cliams that spot, but Philly and Nashville are on their heals just a point behind. San Diego holds down the top spot in the west for now by one point over Vancouver. There will undoubtedly be drama this week, but will it be the kind that decides the close races in these conferences? Tune in to MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+ to find out.
