Then the Union will play the other 7 eastern conference teams twice.
The Union will only play 2 games against the Western Conference, one home and one away:

What you need to know:
The Union will have at least 7 Nationally Televised games during the 2021 Season!
The top 7 teams from the Eastern Conference will qualify for the 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs
The entire league has been waiting for MLS to release the Season schedule and it is finally here.
