New start time for second leg of 2018 MLS Eastern Conference Final

The second leg of the 2018 MLS Eastern Conference final was originally scheduled to kick-off at 7:00 pm, Eastern, on November 29. It is now scheduled to kick-off at 7:30 pm, Eastern.

The game will still take place on a Thursday night.

Life throws up more significant complications than a 30-minute adjustment to the start of a soccer match, but the change will doubtless be inconvenient to some - and entirely irrelevant to many.

Still, given the fact televised MLS games almost always start a little later than advertised, the adjustment to the kick-off time suggests a game that was likely to get underway a little after 7:00 pm will now commence a lot closer to 8:00 pm than originally expected.
