In looking to book a FIFA Club World Cup spot, teams must first navigate past Round of 16 home and away legs. The winners advance to the quarterfinal stage that'll run from March 8-17, while the semifinals are being held April 5-14. The two-legged final is scheduled for April 26-May 5, with exact times and locations pending based on how the bracket unfolds.
In 2021, MLS sent a record five teams to the quarterfinals, but only the Philadelphia Union advanced to the semifinals, where they fell to Club America, which lost to Monterrey in the all-Mexican final, the ninth in the tournament's history.
Will an MLS team, at long last, go the distance? Stay tuned to find out.
