Philadelphia Union learned on Saturday evening that the club will face New England Revolution in the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs Round One Best-of-3 Series.
The Union finished sixth in the Eastern Conference and will open the postseason on the road against third-seeded New England before bringing playoff soccer back to Subaru Park for Game 2.
Should a decisive third match be needed, the series would return to New England.
Exact dates and kickoff times for the Round One series will be announced by Major League Soccer in the near future.
Philadelphia enters the postseason for the 10th time in club history and eighth time in the last nine seasons following a remarkable second-half climb up the Eastern Conference table.
The Boys in Blue and Revolution met twice during the 2026 regular season, with both matches ending in narrow 2-1 victories for New England. The most recent meeting came on October 24 at Subaru Park, when a late goal from Homegrown defender Neil Pierre pulled Philadelphia within one before the final whistle.
