While the international break has most of the world’s leagues on pause, the Major League Soccer schedule of commentators continues on March 23. Matchday five in MLS features 13 games happening in one day. Some of the league’s top players will be unavailable because of international duty. Yet, several top-tier matchups will send waves throughout the league in the early part of the 2024 campaign with many MLS Season Pass commentators calling the games.
The first of those games is at 2 p.m. ET. The New England Revolution welcomes the Chicago Fire to start matchday five in Major League Soccer. New England, an MLS Cup Playoffs qualifier in four of the last five seasons, is yet to pick up a point this season. After four games, New England has been the worst team in the league with four losses by a combined seven goals. Chicago presents an opportunity for New England, as the Windy City club has just four points after four games.
MLS 360 will be a popular spot for people during the 7:30-9:30 p.m. and 8:30-10:30 p.m. ET kickoff windows. The whip-around show will cover seven games at the same time. That includes the Vancouver Whitecaps hosting Real Salt Lake. Having only played three games Vancouver is off to a strong start this season with two wins and a draw. There is a slim chance Vancouver could go to the top of the combined MLS table with a win. Regardless, the start for the Canadian club this season is far better than in 2023, when Vancouver had to wait until matchday six for its first win.
Then, at 8:30 p.m. ET, Sporting Kansas City welcomes the LA Galaxy with both teams having a decent start to the 2024 MLS season. Both clubs are undefeated, but that does not indicate total success. After four games, each has one win and three draws for just six points.
