Frequently asked questions
Can Minnesota United FC make the MLS Cup Playoffs?
Minnesota United FC cannot clinch on its own even by winning every remaining game. It also needs results elsewhere.
How is the magic number calculated?
It is the fewest further points that guarantee a top-nine finish in the conference even if every rival wins all of its remaining games (3 points a win). A level points total is counted against the club, so our clinch can come later than the league's announcement.
How many teams make the MLS Cup Playoffs?
Eighteen: the top nine in each conference. Seeds 1–7 go straight to Round One; seeds 8 and 9 play a one-game Wild Card for the last Round One place.
