🛡️ NASHVILLE SC HAVE WON THE 2026 MLS SUPPORTERS SHIELD Long settled but now mathematically clinched with three matches Via @tombogert on X

What happened: Nashville SC mathematically locked up the 2026 MLS Supporters' Shield on Saturday with three matches remaining on its schedule, per Tom Bogert. The club stands at 70 points on the campaign while holding a 2-0 lead in live play.

Why it matters: The trophy marks the first Supporters' Shield in club history after Nashville SC closed in on the title earlier in October. Securing the Shield guarantees top seeding and home-field advantage throughout the MLS Cup postseason.

By the numbers: 70: Current point total for Nashville SC, which needs 5 more points across its final 3 matches to set a new MLS single-season points record.

What to watch: Nashville SC will pursue the 5 points needed over its remaining 3 matches to establish a new league single-season points mark before opening postseason action.
