MLS announced the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs schedule on Friday, so now we know when the San Jose Earthquakes will begin play.
Put simply, the Western Conference playoff games will kick off the week of Thanksgiving, so the Earthquakes will either play Saturday, Nov. 21, Sunday, Nov. 22, or Tuesday, Nov. 24. The actual matchups and specific schedule will likely be announced Sunday evening, or Monday at the latest, after the Decision Day games wrap up the regular season.
The playoffs will actually begin on Nov. 20, but for the Eastern Conference only.
