The 2024 MLS Eastern Conference Final is set to be a historic matchup between the No. 7 New York Red Bulls and the No. 4 Orlando City. New York has been the Cinderella team of the postseason, eliminating defending champions Columbus Crew and rivals NYCFC. Orlando has also had a strong run, narrowly beating Atlanta United in the semifinals. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 30, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Inter & Co. Stadium in Orlando. Fans can watch the game through the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
In their two regular-season meetings, Orlando and New York had a draw and a win each. The Red Bulls have never won the MLS Cup, while Orlando has yet to make an appearance in the final. The lowest seed to win the MLS Cup is No. 4, achieved four times, most recently in 2021. Both teams have the opportunity to make history in this year’s final.

The MLS Eastern Conference Final and Pochettino’s appointment are both exciting developments in the world of soccer.
