The San Jose Earthquakes play at FC Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 5:30 p.m. PT at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, with home-field advantage in the playoffs at stake.
Why it matters: San Jose clinched its first playoff spot since 2023 last weekend. A top-four finish in the West means home field in the first round.
The standings
- San Jose: 13-8-9, 48 points, fourth in the West, unbeaten in nine straight.
- FC Dallas: 14-7-9, 51 points.
- A win would move San Jose to third, the club said.
