It’s official: MLS will have a first-time Cup champion on Saturday. The MLS Cup winner will be either the Seattle Sounders or Toronto FC, both teams making their MLS Cup debuts. The two sides will meet in the 21st MLS Cup on December 10, 2016.
Both clubs boast massive fan support that has, to varying degrees, suffered since arriving in MLS. After two straight years of huge player investment and stadium upgrades, Toronto enter as the favorites at home and under the majority of the pressure.
Meanwhile, Seattle had a meteoric rise to reach this year’s MLS Cup. After being at the bottom of the league at midseason, the club fired their longtime manager and lost club talisman Clint Dempsey to an irregular heart condition. However, rookie Jordan Morris is admirably leading the line as the Rave Green hope to put the finishing touches on their spectacular turnaround.
Adding another twist, the temperature is predicted to be in the 20s. Could we see a spectacular snow final? Here’s everything you need to know to watch the match, either live streaming online or on TV through your cable provider.
