How to watch D.C. United vs. CF Montreal originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
While D.C. United is already looking ahead to 2023, their last two games of the current campaign do bear some significance for the playoff race. The Black and Red sit at last place in the Eastern Conference, but their matchup on Saturday night at home against CF Montreal should make waves in the rest of MLS.
Montreal is currently second in the conference and is essentially locked into that spot, as their 59 points on the season are five behind conference-best Philadelphia and nine atop third-place NY Red Bulls. However, working out the squad's kinks before the playoffs begin would be a huge boost to their chances.
