MLS has also announced the schedule for the 2016 playoffs, which will take place over a six-week span from October to December.
Major League Soccer has announced that MLS Cup 2016 will be on Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. ET, and will be televised on FOX broadcast network, UniMas, TSN and RDS.
It's the first time since 2008 that MLS Cup will air on network television in English, and the first time ever that it will be played on a Saturday evening in primetime on network television.
The match will also avoid any conflicts with college football, with the Army-Navy game — set for the afternoon — the only major game scheduled for Dec.
