Philadelphia Union are officially headed back to the postseason.<\/p>\n
The Boys in Blue secured a spot in the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs on Wednesday night following Red Bull New York\u2019s loss to the New England Revolution, marking the club\u2019s 10th postseason appearance in club history and eighth in the last nine seasons.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia entered Wednesday night on the verge of securing its postseason place following a remarkable second-half climb up the Eastern Conference table. In a fitting twist, D\u00e1niel Gazdag, former Union midfielder and the club’s all-time leading scorer,\u00a0 scored the late game-winner for the Revolution as they defeated Red Bull New York.<\/p>\n
The playoff berth continues an impressive second half of the season for Philadelphia, which surged up the Eastern Conference standings following the FIFA World Cup break under Interim Head Coach Ryan Richter.<\/p>\n
With their postseason place secured, the Union will now turn their attention toward positioning in the Eastern Conference table. Following Wednesday\u2019s trip to Nashville SC, Philadelphia has two regular-season matches remaining, beginning with a road clash against FC Cincinnati on Saturday, October 31 before returning to Subaru Park to host Toronto FC on Decision Day on Saturday, November 7.<\/p>\n
