Philadelphia Union vs. New England Revolution: Kickoff, Team News & Subaru Park Guide

Updated October 24, 2026: Philadelphia Union host New England Revolution in a 2026 MLS regular-season match on Saturday, October 24. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00) in Chester, Pennsylvania, or 11:30 p.m. UTC on October 24. Subaru Park is the venue, and Apple TV is the listed viewing option. The official Union and Revolution match information agree on the date, kickoff, venue, and coverage.

Quick fixture reference

The venue is in Chester, Pennsylvania, rather than central Philadelphia. October 24 falls before the 2026 U.S. daylight saving time change on November 1, so EDT (UTC−04:00) is the correct time-zone label for this match. The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 2026 daylight saving calendar confirms the change date. The Philadelphia Union schedule, MLS match center, and New England’s matchday guide are the official places to confirm any late schedule change.

Playoff stakes and recent form

Philadelphia enters the match sixth in the Eastern Conference at 46 points, with a 13-10-7 record, according to the clubs’ pregame coverage. The Union have gone unbeaten in 15 matches since the World Cup break, with 12 wins and three draws. Their 2-2 draw with Charlotte ended an eight-game winning streak. A win against New England would secure Philadelphia’s place in the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs regardless of other results, the Union says in its official match preview.

New England arrives third in the East at 52 points (16-10-4) and has already clinched a playoff berth. The Revolution’s recent results include a 3-2 win at FC Cincinnati that secured their postseason place and a 1-0 home victory over Chicago. The club’s preview reports five wins in its last seven matches, with the team still playing for its final conference position. The May 9 meeting at Gillette Stadium went 2-1 to New England, making this the return fixture.

Players and storylines

• Milan Iloski: The Union forward has 19 league goals and scored in five consecutive matches entering the Charlotte draw. One more regular-season goal would give him 20.
• Carles Gil: New England’s captain has 12 goals and 11 assists in 2026. His late goal decided the May meeting.
• Daniel Gazdag: The former Union midfielder is now with New England. Philadelphia’s preview notes that Gazdag became the club’s all-time leading scorer while playing in Chester.

Confirmed player availability

The MLS Player Status Report for Saturday, October 24 lists these players for the fixture:

“Out” and “questionable” are the labels in the league report; they do not identify the starting XI or formation.
