New York City host Seattle Sounders at Yankee Stadium on Saturday in their final game of the league phase of the 2025 MLS season. The Boys in Blue are looking to pick themselves up from a narrow 1-0 loss to Philadelphia Union last weekend in their final away match of the season.
Mikael Uhre struck in the 40th minute for the hosts, which proved enough to seal all three points for them as New York could not claw their way back into the match.
With 56 points from 33 games, Pascal Jansen's side are in fifth position in the Eastern Conference table and will be heading into round one of the playoffs.
From the last 10 games, New York have won seven, indicating a strong run that the side will be looking to continue on the final day as they aim to build momentum ahead of the next round of the competition.
