Why was the LAFC vs Atlanta United match postponed?

LAFC’s clash against Atlanta United at the Banc of California Stadium in the MLS regular season was postponed because of the team’s appearance in the CONCACAF Champions League Final. The first leg of the Final was played on May 31 in Leon, and the MLS side are now behind 2-1 heading into the second game, which will take place at BMO Stadium on June 4.

In the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, LAFC’s Round of 16 encounter versus their city rivals, LA Galaxy ended in a loss. Therefore, the contest against Atlanta United has been moved to Wednesday, June 7.
