Due to the holidays, only three matches will be on display this weekend before matchday four resumes the following weekend.
New York City FC and the New England Revolution get it started on Saturday followed by D.C. United vs. FC Dallas and finally a Western Conference matchup between the Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
With it still being early in the season it is still difficult to tell which teams will be in playoff contention come October, but clubs will want to distance themselves from the competition as early as possible.
FC Dallas will look to continue their great start to the season having two victories in their first three matches, while DC United will hope to get their first win of the campaign.
New for this week is matchup previews in a slideshow so that you can have access to all the matches in one place. Read through all the matches or just skip ahead to your favourite team.
