Reigning champions LAFC travel to Columbus Crew on Saturday for the 2023 MLS Cup Final. Here's how to watch the match.
After the longest season in Major League Soccer history, the title game is here. The 2023 MLS Cup final is set with a pair of No. 3 seeds going head-to-head when Columbus Crew hosts defending champions Los Angeles FC.

LAFC will now go for their second-straight MLS title as they travel to Columbus, Ohio to take on the 2020 champions Columbus Crew.
