First Playoff Match at CITYPARK: October 29, 30, 31 or November 1
The Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs are coming to St. Louis! Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 13 at www.seatgeek.com to see Western Conference Regular-Season champions St. Louis CITY SC – the first MLS expansion team to win its regular season conference title – compete in Round One, a Best-of-3 series. CITYPARK could host up to two Round One matches, with the first expected to be played October 29, 30, 31 or November 1. The Round One Best-of-3 series schedule will be finalized upon the release of the full Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoff schedule.
With CITY SC winning the regular-season conference title, St. Louis earned the top seed and will face off against the winner of the Audi MLS Cup Playoff Wild Card match that features the eighth and ninth seed in the West.
“Our fans made CITYPARK one of the most feared atmospheres in MLS, selling out every home match and making it known as one of the loudest stadiums in the league,” said Edmound Elzy, St. Louis CITY SC’s Vice President of Ticket Sales & Service. “Starting with their record-breaking season ticket deposits last year, our fans’ support has been through the roof, and we can’t wait to see them in full force throughout the playoffs as we compete for our first-ever title in our inaugural season.”
