Philadelphia Union fans around the globe will able to watch their Boys in Blue as they take on Eintracht Frankfurt with a free livestream on PhiladelphiaUnion.com starting at 5:30PM on Saturday.
Union radio play-by-by announcer Dave Leno and Union Ring of Honoree Sebastien Le Toux will provide commentary for the second edition of the Sister City Showdown.
Saturday's match at Subaru Park will be the against the German side that finished third in the Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season, earning spot in Champions League through league standings for the first time in club history.
Philadelphia and Frankfurt are considered sister cities, and 2025 marks the 10th year of the official partnership. Relationship aside, there will be some brotherly love on the pitch as Union Homegrown Paxten Aaronson from Medford, New Jersey, currently plays for German side.
He departed the Union to sign with the club in November 2022, and since then, he’s spent time on loan with Eredivisie side Utrecht. He returned to Eintracht Frankfurt at the close of the 2024-25 season, and he is part of the travel party that will visit Subaru Park on Saturday night, so fans can anticipate a reunion on the pitch come game time.
The two clubs met for a friendly in 2018, where the Union secured a 1-0 victory on July 14, with a goal by former Union Homegrown, Derrick Jones. Additionally, the Union signed Mexican midfielder Marco Fabián from Frankfurt in 2019 and later transferred Homegrown talent Paxten Aaronson to the Bundesliga side.
