MLS Matchday 5 games on national TV
Four Major League Soccer games will air on National Television from Wednesday, May 12 through Sunday, May 16.
La Galaxy vs. Austin FC
The LA Galaxy will take on Major League Soccer newbies Austin FC at Dignity Health Tennis Center on Saturday, May 15, at 3:30 p.m. ET. The game will air live on TUDN USA and Univision in the United States. The match will also be available for international fans in 50+ other countries – broadcast information at the bottom of the article.
Led by Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, the LA Galaxy is living a successful start to their 2021 campaign. Chicharito's five goals – most in the league – have helped the Galaxy to three wins in the opening four games of the season. The Los Angeles side is joint second in the Western Conference and looking to qualify for playoffs, something they failed to do last year.
On the other hand, Austin FC is enjoying life in MLS with six points after two away wins against Colorado and Minnesota. Los Verdes will look to steal three points from a powerful Galaxy side on Saturday.
FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami CF
Inter Miami CF and bottom of the Eastern Conference table FC Cincinnati will look for a win on Sunday, May 16, at 4 p.m. ET to turn around a poor start to their 2021 seasons. The contest will broadcast live on FOX Network and FOX Deportes in the USA. Learn how you can watch the game in 50+ more countries at the bottom of the article.
Cincinnati failed to win a game in its first four games of the season and has lost three in a row. The Orange and Blue will have a chance to win their first game in 2021 against Inter Miami at home.
Phil Neville's Inter Miami will take on the Montreal Impact at home before facing Cincy in Ohio on the weekend. The Herons are in dire need of a win to stay up to pace with other playoff contenders after a couple of consecutive draws. Two wins would most likely leave the South Floridian inside the top seven teams in the Eastern Conference.
New England Revolution vs. Columbus Crew
ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes will screen a game between the New England Revolution and reigning MLS champions Columbus Crew on Sunday, May 16, at 6 p.m. ET. Click the link for the game at the bottom of the article to learn how to watch the game in 50 other countries.
The Columbus Crew will face Toronto on Wednesday before taking on the New England Revs on Sunday. Columbus is in the middle of an identity crisis after executives decided to change the club's branding overnight. Fans have expressed their distaste for the changes, and some have even vouched to stop supporting the club.
The Revs are tied for first in the Eastern Conference, with seven points after four games. They will face the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday before playing the Crew on Sunday.
Seattle Sounders vs. LAFC
Western Conference leaders the Seattle Sounders will host West Coast foe LA Football Club at CenturyLink Field on Sunday, May 16, at 9:30 p.m. ET. FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes will air the game on live television in the USA. Find out how MLS fans can watch the match in 50+ countries at the bottom of the article.
The Sounders look to assert their dominance in the Western Conference while LAFC looks to snap a three-game winless streak. Seattle is yet to lose a game this season after three wins and one draw, and Bob Bradley's side is hungry for three points to get back in playoff range.
