CARSON, Calif. – Yahoo Sports has live coverage of Saturday’s 2024 MLS Cup Final, where the LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls meet in a heavyweight battle against the underdog. The match begins at 4:10 PM ET, 1:10 PM PT at the Galaxy Fortress, Dignity Health Sports Park. Fox will broadcast the final in the United States. Fans can also stream it on Apple TV with the MLS Season Pass in England or Spain.

The Galaxy are chasing a league-record sixth title after an electric season fueled by big-name signings and free agent coups. However, they will be without midfield maestro Riqui Puig on Saturday, whose torn ACL leaves a huge gap in the attack. Can Greg Vanney’s team adjust and deliver another championship to Los Angeles?

On the other hand, the Red Bulls have defied all odds to get here. After sneaking into the playoffs as the East’s seventh seed, they battled past defending champion Columbus, then crosstown rival NYCFC and then Orlando. They were driven by brave pressing and lackluster defense led by goalkeeper Carlos Coronel. Now, with history on the line, Sandro Schwarz’s team has a chance to pull off one of the biggest Cinderella stories in the league.

Will the Galaxy’s star power shine through, or can the Red Bulls improve on their first MLS Cup?

All the latest updates, highlights and more will be listed below.

  • Marco Reus on the bench

    The big news in the starting line-up is that Marco Reus – the former Borussia Dortmund star who joined the Galaxy mid-season – is only fit enough for LA’s bench.

    Before Saturday’s Western Conference finals, he felt something in his groin. Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said yesterday that Reus “trained fully” on Friday and “should be ready to go tomorrow” … but apparently he isn’t, at least not fully.

    And that’s a big loss. Reus hasn’t set MLS on fire, but in the absence of Riqui Puig, who tore his ACL last weekend, he would step up to the plate.

    Without both, the Galaxy midfield is severely weakened. Substitutes are Marky Delgado and Gaston Brugman.
