Major League Soccer's TV partners in the USA and Canada have selected the matchups they will be airing on Decision Day presented by AT&T when every MLS club will be in action over a five-hour span on Sunday, November 8.


Seven simultaneous Eastern Conference matches at 3:30 p.m. ET will be followed by six Western Conference matches all taking place at 6:30 p.m. ET with most every game carrying playoff qualification, postseason seeding and other stakes.


All eyes on Philly


For the Eastern Conference window at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, ABC and ESPN Deportes picked the potential Shield-clinching matchup between the Philadelphia Union and New England Revolution from Subaru Park. 


The league-leading Union can clinch the best regular season record in 2020 with a victory and in the process claim their first club silverware: the Supporters' Shield awarded to the top regular season team every year.


Can Timbers top the West?


FOX Sports will cover the Western Conference window at 6:30 p.m. ET, opting for the LAFC vs. Portland Timbers match which could see the Timbers finish with the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The match will air on FS1 and FOX Deportes.


The match could also crown LAFC's Diego Rossi as the top regular season goal scorer and winner of the Golden Boot presented by Audi. He would be the youngest player to claim the honor.


What's airing in Canada


TSN will carry all three Canadian clubs in action on Decision Day: New York Red Bulls vs. Toronto FC (3:30 p.m. ET) and D.C. United vs. the Montreal Impact (3:30 p.m. ET) in the Eastern Conference, followed by Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. LA Galaxy (6:30 p.m. ET) in the Western Conference. 


TVA Sports also will carry the final regular season match for the Montreal Impact, as they look for a win to cement their place in the postseason in the first season under soccer legend Thierry Henry.
