The Crown must win to force a deciding game at home. Ninety minutes in New York City on Saturday will define Charlotte FC's 2025 season.
Falling 1-0 to New York City FC in the first match of a best-of-three series has made game two at Yankee Stadium a knockout game for the Crown.
The game will be televised on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass and the radio call will be on WFNZ 92.7 FM.
