The weekend features historic title clashes, high-stakes Bundesliga survival matches, and key fixtures for U.S. players across Europe and MLS. With synchronized kickoffs across multiple leagues, the stage is set for dramatic finishes and decisive moments.
In Scotland, Celtic host Hearts at 7:30a ET on CBSSN with the Scottish Premiership title on the line. Celtic and Hearts are tied on points going into the final matchday, and a Hearts win or draw would see a team other than Celtic or Rangers claim the league for the first time since 1985. The result will come down to VAR decisions and late-game drama after Celtic were awarded a controversial penalty last weekend.
In Germany, Union Berlin face Augsburg at 9:30a ET on ESPN Select. Noahkai Banks has started six straight matches for Augsburg, who remain unbeaten in that span. Meanwhile, Joe Scally started for Borussia Monchengladbach in their 3-1 loss to Augsburg last weekend. Gio Reyna came on in the 60th minute and scored a late consolation goal, playing over 30 minutes in the match.
Bayern Munich take on Koln at the same time, with Kristoffer Lund on the losing side last weekend as Koln fell to Heidenheim. Koln are safe from relegation thanks to a Wolfsburg loss, but will face a dominant Bayern side in their final match.
In MLS, Seattle Sounders host LA Galaxy at 9:15p ET on FS1 in a key Western Conference clash. Cristian Roldan leads Sounders, who have lost just once in 11 matches and are five points behind San Jose. The match is a must-win for Seattle if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Elsewhere in MLS, Cavan Sullivan is coming off his first career goal as the Union host Columbus Crew, while Sebastian Berhalter of Vancouver Whitecaps scored a brace on Wednesday. RSL's Zavier Gozo has emerged as a scoring threat, and Deigo Luna is a key figure in Salt Lake's late-season push.
In Italy, Christian Pulisic is back in AC Milan's squad for their 6:30a ET match against Genoa on Paramount+. Pulisic has struggled to find the net recently but could play a pivotal role in securing Champions League qualification. Meanwhile, Weston McKennie leads Juventus in their 6:30a ET match against Fiorentina.
Bundesliga survival continues with St. Pauli vs. Wolfsburg at 9:30a ET on ESPN Select. Kevin Paredes is unlikely to feature after a recent training incident and limited minutes this season. A draw would eliminate St. Pauli from the Bundesliga, while Wolfsburg’s fate depends on Heidenheim’s result.
The next round of matches will decide Bundesliga relegation fates and potential Champions League qualification. The final day of play across Europe is set for Monday, with outcomes likely to shape the 2024-25 season.
