With just four matches in Week 33, there was a single verdict handed down, but the playoff races in both conferences were impacted.
D.C. United's win over FC Dallas not only thrust the Black-and-Red into the Eastern Conference playoff zone, but the result also mathematically eliminated the New England Revolution.
The result at Audi Field also affected the race for the top seeds in the Western Conference, where first-place FC Dallas (57 pts) saw their lead over LAFC (56 pts) cut to one point with two matches remaining. The battle for the West's top two seeds that secure a Knockout Round bye includes Sporting Kansas City (53 pts) which still has a game in hand.
