The final score was San Jose Earthquakes 1, Nashville SC 1. Nashville struck first through Hany Mukhtar in the 34th minute. The Earthquakes got back level when Preston Judd scored a header in the 70th minute. Those are the goal scorers and minutes identified in the official MLS match recap; this update does not add an assist or other match statistic that the recap summary does not confirm.
The result left the sides even at the end of the regular-season fixture. Readers checking the match center can use the league’s official page for its published summary and match information. The final 1-1 should be used in place of any pregame status or score prediction: the match is no longer upcoming, and its confirmed result is the main update to this guide.
The Earthquakes’ official 2026 schedule lists the home game against Nashville on October 17 at 7:30 p.m. San Jose observes Pacific Daylight Time on that date, which is PDT (UTC-07:00). Adding seven hours to 7:30 p.m. gives 02:30 UTC on Sunday, October 18. The different calendar dates on club and league pages describe the same kickoff, rather than a rescheduled match.
The match took place at PayPal Park in San Jose, California, the Earthquakes’ listed home venue for this fixture. Use October 17 when referring to the event in San Jose and October 18 when sorting it by UTC date. For an international schedule, state both labels together so that the date change after midnight is clear. The official schedule PDF and MLS match page are the primary references for the date, venue and kickoff conversion.
Nashville SC’s matchday health report listed Famara Camara as out with a lower-body issue. It also listed six San Jose players as out: Nonso Adimabua, Jonathan Gonzalez, Darius Johnson, DeJuan Jones and Benji Kikanovic with lower-body issues, and Niko Tsakiris with an upper-body issue. These are the statuses in the club’s published health report for this matchup. They describe reported availability; they do not establish a diagnosis, recovery timeline or later change in status.
The report is not a starting lineup or a full account of substitutions. The official match recap confirms the scorers and result summarized above, while the club health report is the source for the pregame availability designations. Readers who need a particular player’s minutes or the complete match sheet should consult the official MLS match center rather than infer participation from an injury listing.
Both clubs described the game as important in their pregame coverage. San Jose’s preview said the Earthquakes were fourth in the Western Conference on 47 points, with five regular-season matches remaining, and that a win would clinch a playoff berth. Nashville’s preview described the club as 20-3-6 and leading the Supporters’ Shield standings by 14 points; it said a win would secure the Shield, while other combinations of results could also affect the clinching picture.
Those standings and scenarios are dated pregame context, not a post-match table. The 1-1 score is confirmed, but the match result by itself does not verify whether either team clinched a place or title after other games were counted. Check the current MLS standings and official league updates for those outcomes instead of treating the preview’s before-kickoff snapshot as the final table.
Before this fixture, both clubs’ previews said the four previous meetings dating back to 2022 had all ended in draws. Since the October 17, 2026 match also finished level, the official pregame history and this MLS result together show five consecutive draws through this meeting. That is a count of the meetings reported by the clubs before kickoff plus the newly confirmed result; it is historical context, not a prediction about a future matchup.
Before kickoff, the clubs listed Apple TV for live video coverage. MLS’s 2026 How to Watch page says every match in the season is available live on Apple TV with an Apple TV subscription and without blackouts. Because this fixture has finished, that live listing is no longer a way to watch it in real time. For the confirmed result and goal summary, start with the official MLS match recap. If looking for a full replay, check the match listing in Apple TV for your market; the league’s general viewing page confirms live coverage but does not guarantee that an on-demand replay remains available for every match or region.
The pregame club guides also listed radio coverage: KSFO 810 AM in English and La Kaliente 1370 AM in Spanish for San Jose, and 104.5 The Zone for Nashville. Those were broadcast listings for match night, not a promise that an audio replay is currently available. Station schedules and online access can vary, so check the broadcasters’ own services if you are searching for archived audio.
