RECENT FORM VS. PHILADELPHIA UNION

The Revs swept the Union this season with a pair of 2-1 victories. The first came early in the season at Gillette Stadium with goals from Luca Langoni and Carles Gil. New England doubled down with another win coming just a few weeks ago at Subaru Park, which ended a 15-game win streak for Philadelphia.

After falling to New England in late October, the Union went two games winless before closing the regular season with a commanding 4-1 victory over Toronto FC on Decision Day. Philadelphia finished the regular season with 66 goals, establishing themselves as one of the Eastern Conference’s most potent attacking teams.

The Revs return to the postseason for the first time since 2023 after finishing third in the Eastern Conference. With homefield advantage, New England will host the 2025 Supporters’ Shield winners to kick off the best-of-three series.

Following Saturday's match, the Revs will travel to Subaru Park for the second game of the series on November 28. If necessary, New England will host the deciding third match on December 2.

SHOW YOUR COLORS

The Revolution will sport the "Independence Day" kit on Saturday afternoon. Released at the start of the 2026 season, it will serve as the team's Club Kit through the 2026-27 campaigns.

Honoring 250 years of American Independence, the kit pays homage to the New England history which helped shape the country. The bold design leans into the themes of celebration, inspired by the classic patriotic bunting and the fireworks displays that have been lighting up New England skies for a quarter Millenium. With the Heritage Tree on the shirtfront and "Est. 1776" on the collar, the kit embodies New England pride. 

The Independence Day jersey is paired with navy shorts adorned by three red stripes down each side. The red, white, and blue socks also sport the Revolution seal across the shins.
