Inter Miami will host the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup final on Saturday, despite being the lower seeded team in the MLS Cup playoff bracket.
While the Whitecaps are the Western Conference No. 2 seed and Miami the Eastern Conference No. 3, the Herons earned hosting rights by having a greater points total in the regular season Supporters’ Shield standings. Conference seeding only plays a role in determining home field advantage up until the MLS Cup final.
